Sep 30, 2025
The Lasher Center for Business and Entrepreneurial Studies was thrilled to welcome back Avin Samtani, co-founder of AquaVault, as a featured speaker for our Monday Night Entrepreneurship Symposium. Speaking to the junior and senior cohorts of the Lasher Business Institute, Avin shared candid insights into the full spectrum of the entrepreneurial journey—from big wins to valuable learning experiences. He offered meaningful lessons on product development, securing funding, and navigating the realities of launching a business.
Avin and his company, AquaVault—creators of patented travel security products and phone accessories—were featured on Season 6 of “Shark Tank” and have since been profiled in major media outlets including Forbes, GQ, “Good Morning America,” and the “Today” show. He also spoke about his newest venture, KEEKS Eyewear, and the evolving process of bringing new ideas to market.
