2. I didn't do part one, so I have no feedback to go off of.

    Michael,
    I completely agree with you on the fact that most people do not wear helmets because they think it isn't cool. From my past experiences, my dad had a terrible accident and although a helmet might look dumb it saved his life. By making something that is attractive to students and ensuring their safety, I think this could be a very attractive business.

    Mike, I would have to completely agree with you on your scooter helmet initiative. It is such a wonderful idea that you are bringing to the table. As a scooter owner and helmet fanatic myself, I truly believe that your plan to bring stylish helmets to all is the way of the future. As of right now I know a ton of people that own helmets that fit in their scooters and look just fine and work well with safety and they got them for free but I for sure would want to spend extra money on this concept!!! :)

Bug List

1. It bugs me that the Chickfila under Standard is really slow. It is too slow because it is staffed by college kids. 2. It bugs me that there are only paper straws now. The reason that there are paper straws is to reduce waste, even though straws aren't what is killing turtles. 3. It bugs me when political protests turn violent. These turn violent because it affects people's livelihood, although both sides are trying to make the world better. 4. Traffic bugs me a lot. Traffic is created for literally no reason, I'm not sure why it happens. 5. It bugs me when my friends pressure me to do something I don't want to do. This depends, it could be to go out or whatever, it is because they want to hang out with me. 6. It bugs me when people say mean things about me. They are probably making it up, because I am a very nice young man. 7. It bugs me when I die in video games. I am bugged because I am not very good at video games. 8. It bugs me that I have to...

29A – Venture Concept No. 2

Image
Opportunity: For my product, the people who have the need are scooter or bike owners who don’t own or wear a helmet. These scooter and bike owners need to wear helmets for their safety, but many do not. Through my research, I have found that a big factor in people not wearing helmets is that they feel uncool wearing them. I want to create a helmet that people are excited to wear. Because people have the need for a safety device that looks good, I think I can fill it. Geographically, this topic is pretty much restricted to only Gainesville, since we are the only school to really have scooters. There is no one set demographic, but it would be targeted mostly to college students, since they are the ones who normally use scooters. Customers are not satisfying their need, they are risking their safety for coolness. This opportunity could realistically take over Gainesville, but it would struggle outside of Gainesville. This opportunity will continue on as long as students don’t wear helm...
