Meet this week's awesome studentpreneur: James Jordan, 25 y.o.,  Business student at the University of Technology Sydney and  founder of Danny Burrito, Bondi Beach,  Australia.

Great example of someone with a background in Arts (major in photography) who decides to build his own business. Interestingly James Jordan went back to Uni against the advice of his mentor who was telling him to just get started! However, it looks like that he managed to leverage all his diverse experience for his latest venture, Danny Burrito: On demand food under 15 minutes. James launched his business in the famous tourist spot of Bondi Beach. Now James needs need students in business development and tech. Contact him at [email protected]
