Sunstone Innovation Challenge – Accelerated MBA Finalist wins $10K

Bonjour everyone, I’m Arthur Varin a French international student and a newly graduated Accelerated MBA alum, and founder of Unwind Meditation Trainer.

A year ago, I was just a kid with an idea in his room, but the amazing support from the Apostle Incubator gave me the confidence to build a team, give life to my project, and even win a five figure seed funding award by participating in the Sunstone Innovation Challenge. My idea was to revolutionize what a meditation app should offer novices to the practice of meditation.

Unwind is the world’s first-ever in-app personal meditation trainer. Unwind starts you on a journey from someone who is just starting to learn how to meditate to a daily autonomous meditator, starting with 3-minute-long guided sessions and seamlessly increasing the difficulty level and the level of autonomy until you can meditate for 20 minute autonomously.

By focusing on what matters we are able to provide what a meditator truly needs for only $2.99/month, essentially making one of mental health’s most powerful tool affordable for everyone.

To me, success is waking up every day to do something you love, and entrepreneurship is definitely the best way to do that. So if you ever wondered about giving that entrepreneur thing a shot, definitely check out the Apostle Incubator at CSULB as well as a the Accelerated MBA program focused on Entrepreneurship & Innovation!
