22A – Elevator Pitch No. 3

1) The pitch: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__youtu.be_UKhfiNkwUHQ&d=DwICAg&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=K2vw8Z2xmmtewefm3-gvSA&m=EhGydYtDScRYhUJmKDH-je_jdSq5ZLG3CRpdpt77htQ&s=d7hxZI8-48zaJ3EoyvFJCz4Tfauo4ZbtYQ2XFMARxmg&e=

 2) A reflection on the feedback you received from your last pitch: I tried to make my video more relatable to students and funnier.

 3) What did you change, based on the feedback?: I made sure to emphasize the customizability of my helmet, paired with its style. In addition to the videos funnyness, I want to be relatable with my style. I think my video helped do that.

    Hello Michael, or should I say Borat! It was great to see a fellow student do such a subpar take on this famous actor and movie. I'm not sure how well this would go over in an actual interview but nonetheless it was funny. I think you improved on your video from last time since it was memorized this go around and you were confident. The only thing I would change for this assignment would maybe be your elevator pitch. Other than that, good job!

    Hi Michael,
    I like the light-hearted take on the pitch. It helped to ease the mood and would actually be quite effective in a real pitch situation. That being said, you could lengthen it some and add some actual figures to the pitch. However, the positivity and reassurance of the pitch could serve you well. I like your business idea, and it is something that could be quite helpful on campus. You could also incorporate an online media angle to bolster the sales of your product.
    Regards,
    Darren

    Hello Michael James Swenson,

    Wow, what a presentation! I have talked to you a few times, but there was something different about you in the video. Maybe you got a haircut? If so, where did you get it in this time of crisis and quarantine? Anyways, you have a good idea but you do not have a name for it. It is just about the end of the semester and you still do not have a name for your product. Okay, good job!

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...
