College Party Scene Gets High-tech Help![]() Zach Suchin and Matt Graham know what college students like. As undergraduates at Emory, the pair made thousands of dollars in cash persuading their fellow students to turn up at certain bars or clubs on a certain night of the week. In between classes and regular college life, they schmoozed with Atlanta club owners, made connections around town and hustled their way into the high-stakes, cutthroat world of party promoting. They learned the business from older Emory students, first passing out fliers as freshmen before moving up the ranks to run the parties. They'd take home stacks and stacks of $10 and $20 bills for their trouble - their cut of the cover charge paid by classmates to get into the places they promoted as hottest place in town. Now the two, along with current Emory sophomore Jason Schutzbang, hope to turn their local success into a nationwide Internet phenomena. After months of planning and two major introduction parties, their new venture, www.collegetonight.com, goes live today. It's been called Facebook for night owls - a reference to the hugely popular college Web site used by students around the nation to post profiles and reconnect with old friends. College Tonight focuses specifically on the after-hours activities of its online college members, offering students a way to make their party plans with the click of a mouse. Suchin drummed up angel investors for the initial startup capital. College Tonight, which went got a head start at Atlanta colleges in the last two weeks, already has about 1,000 members, "Our site is not about sitting around and looking through profiles," Suchin said. "It's about encouraging people to go out and be social." It's also about making money. Suchin, a California native, is quick to rattle off statistics about the untapped college market. College kids have billions of dollars in disposable income, he said, and everyone is scrambling for a piece of the pie. "The 18- to 24-year-old crowd is extremely important to advertisers," said Suchin, 22. "It's a huge market." Suchin and Graham, a New York native who also is 22, recently threw a launch party for the site at Club Eleven50 in Atlanta. At 11:55 p.m. on a recent Thursday, Suchin, a drink in hand and wearing a pink tie, jeans and a ball cap, surveyed the party over the pulsing dance music. More than 1,000 college-age kids were packed inside, sweaty bodies in designer clothes, leaning close, sipping drinks. Every person represented a $10 profit for Suchin and Graham - and the club was at capacity. Just after midnight, hundreds more were still crushed in a line outside, straining against the ropes, waiting eagerly for their turn to pay their cover (later upped to $15) and get their chance to party. Graham, in a pressed button-down shirt, coolly shook hands and directed people to the club's VIP room. In addition to the site, Graham is still running his club promoting business, MisEdukated Entertainment. The company netted $100,000 last year. "It's crazy," Suchin yelled over the din. "Look at the people in here." Inside, Schutzbang, the Emory sophomore, grinned and chatted with friends. Schutzbang, College Tonight's chief technology officer, was recruited by Suchin to run the design portion of the new site after the two met on campus last year. The 19-year-old Philadelphia native now balances his class schedule with late-night phone calls to Romania - where the site's programmers are based. "It's definitely been a commitment," Schutzbang said. "But it will all be worth it in the end." Both Suchin and Graham said promoting made them "financially independent" early on in their college careers. Emory students have money to spend, they say, and are looking for leaders to tell them where to go. "It's about directing the herd," Graham said. "College kids want to know where to go." | A History Of Office Administration Australian Immigration Cuts Brisbanes Basic Administration For Citrix Netscaler 9 2 Basic Cadet Training United States Air Force Be A Hogwarts Student In Your Celebrity Dresses On Academy Awards Citrix Xenapp 65 Advanced Administration College Party Scene Gets College Students Need To Party Comboapp Introduces Purely Scalable Education Condos For Students Creativity Is Just Like Dissertation Writing With True Download And Share Research Easy Mathematics Enterprise Mathematics Essentials Of Vedic Mathematics Exam A24 Citrix Xenserver 56 Administration Financial Aid Options For College Five Secrets From The Experts Flying Academy India Explore The World Freshers Week A Seven Day Party Hmb Oddity Muscle Building How Plagiarism Hurts Students How To Prepare For Basic Learning Mathematics Through Memorising Live After University Mathematics And Faith Mathematics And Religion Mathematics And The Benefit Of Music Mathematics Base And Fun Game Mistakes In Conducting Online Nightclubs In Edinburgh Party Online Mathematics Tutorials Outlining An Authentic Research Paper Overview Of The Postgraduate Certificate In Business Panda Research Scam Debunked Reach Extreme Heights With Remote Database Administration Oracle Support Research Paper Topics Make Research Paper Writing Services Six Strategies To Connect With Snia Storage Networking Management Administration Student Academy Award Winners Have Big Impact Student Credit Card Debt Help Student Life After Classes Student Loan Consolidation – Help Students Discount And Other Students Unions Advantages And Disadvantages The Best Film Academy Oscar The Best Solutions For The Latest The Ethics Of Phase 1 Research The Importance Of Getting The Importance Of Market Research In Advertising The Importance Of Time The Mres Clinical Research Masters Course Top 12 Ways To Motivate Students Tutoring Benefits Students Outside What Can High Traffic Academy Do For You Xsan 2 Administration Exam Accredited Stem Cell Banks Advantages Of Investing In Gold Are You Confident Are You Ready To Invest Authentic Marketing Invest In Yourself Auto Insurance Brokers And Financial Advisors Banks And Banking Conversations Banks And Short run Cost Banks Retail Banking Services Benefits Of Real Estate Business And Investment Best Mutual Funds Best Singapore Banks And Their Services Central Banks And Modern Denver Finance Jobs For Personal Effective Business Card Design Efficient Financial Advisors And Planners Fee Only Financial Advisors Finding A Financial Advisor Finding Land And Lots To Invest Five Reasons To Invest With Business Four Reasons To Invest In Apartment Hidden Dangers Of Investing High Return Investment In Pakistan Historical Mutual Fund Performance Charts Are Hard How Do I Invest How Much Gold Should We Invest How To Buy Mutual Funds How To Decide The Best How To Invest In Dirt How To Invest In Gold How To Select Top Mutual Intrust Advisors Independent Financial Invest In A Food Franchise Invest In Graphic Design And Branding Invest In Mutual Funds And Let Someone Invest In Mutual Funds Latest Trends Of Mutual Funds In India Make Profit From Land Investment Mutual Fund Pros Mutual Funds And Their Benefits Reasons To Invest In Silver Jewelleries Reasons Why Central Banks Buy Gold Role Of Gramin Banks In Indian Running A Business Without A Server The Benefits Of Acquiring An Investment The Benefits Of Banks Top 5 Reasons To Invest In Property Top 6 Land Investment Myths Debunked Tulum Real Estate Is the Time Uk Land Investment – Low Risk Understanding Growth Mutual Fund Investment Understanding Your Banking Options Want To Invest In Real Why Aspiring Financial Advisors Attend Cefa Why Invest In Real Estate Why People Should Invest Why Should We Invest Why To Invest In Land During Why Your Business Should |
