Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO)‘s Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (EO GSEA) encourage “studentpreneurs” to grow their businesses with support from mentors and fellow entrepreneurs. With 2018 EO GSEA global finals rapidly approaching, we are reaching out to previous participants and finalists to find out how the program changed their lives.

Meet 26-year-old Lotte Leufkens, the 2017 GSEA global finalist from the Netherlands and founder of CloudCuddle.

Tell us about your company. CloudCuddle designs and produces transportable bed tents to enable families with handicapped children to sleep away from home.

What’s been happening since GSEA? Two months after the awards, we were able to launch our first product onto the market! Our product has gotten a great response from the market, enabling us to start start new projects and grow even more.
