22A: Elevator Pitch



https://youtu.be/wn0IfcVlAfU

2. The feedback I received on the last elevator pitch submission was positive, and people enjoyed the copy I wrote for the pitch. I only received one constructive piece of criticism, and that was to move around more and gesture more with my hands.

3. Really, the only thing I changed this time was to gesture more with my hands and move around more.

    I think you did an excellent job with this pitch. I have followed your pitch since you started and really have seen an improvement. You have this memorized and you seem confident and enthusiastic. I think you did a great job giving details and an exact price. I also find this extremely creative. The only improvements I would make at this point is possibly a professional outfit and have the camera more forward facing. Overall a great pitch.

    Federico,
    I thought you used your feedback in a good way. You can definitely tell that you tried to use your hands more during this elevator pitch. I think that I could add more hand movement into mine as well. For this pitch, I added in a prop though. I think this is a great way to engage your viewers a little more.

    Federico, I loved your pitch! You did an excellent job grabbing the attention of your audience and speaking clearly about your product. You are confident and spoke flawlessly. You credibility is guaranteed with the numerous facts you gave. My minor suggestions would be dressing professionally and having the camera be at eye level, but other than that, you sold me! 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. The why: Universities usually have contracts with book publishers, and require the newest edition of the book instead of previous versions. Testing the who: Every student I have met has had at least a semester’s worth of classes requiring $100+ books. Testing the what: Many teachers force students to buy the newest edition of the book directly from the publisher, instead of renting or buying a used, previous edition of the book. Testing the why: Publishers benefit directly from students buying the newest edition of the book, as universities sign exclusivity ...
