After wasting precious time searching for study rooms during finals at the University of Southern California, Daniella and Luke co-founded OpenRoom seeking to improve efficiency and students' experiences. After meeting during the first year of undergraduate study, they became best friends. With Daniella studying business administration and finance and Luke’s educational background in law and marketing, they built a team and combined their diverse skill sets to solve their initial problem. The application has since expanded to support many features, including fitness centers, music facilities, and corporate offices.
