“This is exactly the platform we were looking for to connect with prospective applied learning clients. The Riipen team were amazing guides as we navigated our first attempt at this. Highly recommend it.”

Sophie Winters,
 
Agribusiness Instructor, State University of New York- Cobleskill

"I have used Riipen for my Consumer Behaviour course. The platform has allowed me to source clients and projects in a host of various industries without having to rely purely on personal and professional connections. The clients themselves have provided projects that have given the students real world experience in solving business problems by studying the consumer and applying their knowledge of psychology and marketing research to provide recommendations and strategies. From a student perspective, the breadth of projects has enabled students to engage in projects that pique their specific interests or are in industries or domains in which they want to develop expertise. From an instructor perspective, the platform has given me confidence that I can successfully source and run upwards of a dozen projects per semester, something that would be difficult to achieve through purely organic outreach."
