Enactus Canada Declares Pilōtalk a Provincial Champion
FREDERICTON, NEW BRUNSWICK (February 9, 2015) – Alex Kall, co-owner of Pilōtalk and graduate student at the University of New Brunswick, has been named New Brunswick’s 2015 Student Entrepreneur Provincial Champion. Provincial Champions coast to coast were named by this country’s largest student leadership development organization, Enactus Canada, and proud program supporter, the John Dobson Foundation as part of the Student Entrepreneur National Competition.
Kall received the title of Student Entrepreneur Provincial Champion because of his ability to combine a love for technology with his desire to make people feel happy and comfortable. For the one in seven adult Canadians who have difficulty sleeping, Pilōtalk produces short, relaxing audiobooks specifically for bedtime listening. Unlike big distributors, Pilōtalk focuses on the human connection of storytelling and leverages their expertise in 3D audio to ease users into slumber.
Kall will showcase his business and personal accomplishments as an entrepreneur at the Enactus Canada Regional Exposition – Atlantic Canada in Halifax on February 27, where he will compete for the title of Regional Champion.
“Alex is such a passionate and innovative young entrepreneur,” explains Enactus Canada president Nicole Almond. “This entrepreneurial spirit is what built this country and we want to encourage and celebrate this in young leaders across Canada.”
Kall will compete against three other Student Entrepreneur Provincial Champions from Atlantic Canada for the regional title and the chance to move on to the 2015 Enactus Canada National Exposition in Toronto, Ontario taking place May 11-13. The National Champion will receive a $10,000 cash prize and take home the John Dobson Cup.
