    I really liked your pitch. I found it a very creative way to present your idea. I like how your plan was detailed and explained the cost and made it very simple. I also like how your told the amount of the savings to make this service even more appealing to your audience. I think you have a great idea. The pitch makes me want to know more about the service. It seems like you had the pitch memorized and well rehearsed as well.

    Frederico,
    I really enjoyed your elevator speech. I thought it was a very neat way to get your point across about the high prices of textbooks. The beginning of the elevator speech was a great way to grab our attention. When people hear stuff like that through commercials online they tend to pay attention longer because it is grabs their attention.

    Hi Federico! This was a great pitch. Your tone of voice told the story in a commercial type of way, which I enjoyed. I absolutely loved the video effects, it made the video a million times better. I would suggest standing for next time, and speak a bit slower to not make it seem like you are reading a script. Nevertheless, you really captivated me with your pitch, so great job!

8A: Solving The Problem

Opportunity: University of Florida teachers often cast an enormous burden on students by requiring expensive textbooks distributed by massive book publishing corporations. I want to create an annual subscription service for textbooks. The service would be created and subsidized by the University of Florida, that allows students to view and read the required textbooks for their courses. The University has an endowment of over $1.2 billion, so this would be a drop in the bucket. The University already has an “opt-in” system for specific textbooks, but students are still required to pay the full price of the book. If the University offered an optional flat price for all students, let’s say $250 for the year added to cost of tuition, I’m sure many students would opt in to this option for the ability to read digital copies of required textbooks. If students want hard copies of the book, they can buy it at full price, but if they want to save money, they can use this book subscription servic...

28A: Exit Strategy

1) Identify the exit strategy you plan to make. Do you intend to sell your business in the next 5 years for a large return? Do you intend to stay with the business for several decades and retire? Do you intend to protect the venture as a family business, and pass it down to your children? To be honest, as this is not the field that I want to spend my career in, I would be completely open to selling the company for a return. If I can find a buyer that I know will take care of its clients and employees, I will gladly sell it. 2) Why have you selected this particular exit strategy? Book publishing software is simply not the world I want to live in for the rest of my life. I found a solution to a problem that affects thousands of college students around the country, and I've done my job. I would rather spend my time doing something else that interests me. I would sell the company to someone who I know cares about the company. 3) How do you think your exit strategy has influen...

7A: Testing the Hypothesis, Part 1

Opportunity: The high costs of required textbooks for UF courses University of Florida teachers often cast an enormous burden on students by requiring expensive textbooks distributed by massive book publishing corporations. The who: Students suffer from having to pay for these expensive books on top of tuition. The what: Teachers require expensive, unaffordable textbooks in order for students to complete assignments in the course.

Testing the who: Every student I have met has had at least a semester’s worth of classes requiring $100+ books.

Testing the why: Publishers benefit directly from students buying the newest edition of the book, as universities sign exclusivity ...
