Elevator Pitch #2

The link to the pitch:

One of the main pieces of feedback I received was that I could make it less obvious I was referencing notes, so I tried to bring my reference sheet closer to my camera this time. I was actually surprised last time with the positive feedback I got because I wasn’t sure if my pitch was on the right track at all! The feedback telling me to keep an upbeat attitude, not look at my notes too much, and incorporate facts into my pitch was all very helpful. I kept all this is in mind when recording my next one.

    Hello Linnea,
    Nice outfit! I really really enjoyed your video. I loved how you began with a personal experience to show that you too have experienced the problem you are trying to fix. The way you gave statistics after that was an excellent way in showing that you are credible and know your things. Also one of my favorite things that you mentioned was when you finish with the straw you can just throw it in the water to feed turtles. Your product is great in its multiple benefits. Great video!

    Hi Linnea,
    I really enjoyed your personal element and incorporation of facts to help support your idea. I hadn't noticed you referencing your notes last time but I did see it this time. Your pitch was still good and I think you present a great idea. Keep up the good work!

Figuring Out Buyer Behavior

Summaries from the Interviews : All of the people I interviewed said the same thing mattered most to them if picking an alternative: the quality. Because the whole issue with paper straws in the first place is if they work sufficiently and don't fall over halfway through the drink, all of them cared most about just having a functional straw be an option for them again. The first person I interviewed also added that the degree to which the straw is helpful for the environment does not really matter to them, even though that is entirely the point of the straw ban in the first place. They simply just want a straw they can use for the whole duration of their drink that they don't have to go out of their way for. My other interviewees also added that they would not want to pay much extra for a straw alternative; it should be supplied to them for free like a normal straw. From this, I realize that price is something that supplier like restaurants, cafes, etc. would care about mo...

Opportunity Belief

My Belief: There is an opportunity in creating an environmentally friendly straw that is completely decomposable and good for the planet, but isn't made out of paper. Description: There is an unmet need for a straw that is good for the environment and won't end up as litter, but one that isn't made out of paper. Paper straws, although great for the environment, disintegrate quickly and can become unusable very fast. Anyone who uses straws has this need, especially in cities like Gainesville where plastic straws have been banned completely. This need is fairly new, because up until more recent years everyone still used and supported plastic straws and were less aware of the negative effects they had on the environment/ecosystems. This need comes from the rise in popularity of paper straws, which answers the fourth question of what are people doing to meet this need now? Paper straws are a great first step, but I have heard so many complaints from people whose straws become...

FINAL REFLECTION!

Image
From the beginning to the end of the semester, my posts definitely improved. It took me a little bit to get into the swing of the class and understand what made a good post, and being able to peer review my classmates and see how they were completing their assignments also helped me a lot.  2) I felt like me and those that I peer reviewed were like a little community of entrepreneurs always supporting each other. Even though it was a required assignment to comment on other posts, it still felt nice to see familiar names giving me kind and helpful feedback by the end of the semester! The most formative experience was probably in my last elevator pitch, because I felt like I was truly representing and talking about a real product that I believed in. We grew these ideas from the start and treated them as normal, functioning businesses which I had never gotten the opportunity to do before, so I liked that a lot. I'm proud of myself for not procrastinating and developing a better wor...
