22A - Elevator Pitch No. 3

-
1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac1MwO7RGZg&feature=youtu.be

2. Overall, the feedback that I received for my second elevator pitch were overwhelmingly positive. Most of my classmates described that I had taken all the feedback from the first elevator pitch and improved on my second, so I simply made a few adjustments of my own...

 3. I decided that rather than speak in broad "American" terms, I would put the stats in the context of Gainesville Florida, because that is my target geography. I spoke about the population of individuals with food allergies in Gainesville and translated that market into a dollar amount (in terms of potential yearly revenues). I also made sure to include that the allergy menu I created would be an online version. Can't wait for more feedback!

    Johnathan,
    Unfortunately I could not get a clear picture to upload that would grab the reader's attention. But I think it is very important to include a picture of your blog. When you just put a link and two lines of comments it makes people feel like there was not enough effort put in. I also realize that my work looks lazy but since reading the book I know that life can seem repetitive but your just slightly adjusting sometimes to have a huge difference.

    Johnathan,
    I am really proud of your third elevator pitch. I think that it is a world of difference from your first one. I felt like you go A LOT of information in this pitch and still made sure that it was clear and concise. You got everything out there that the customers needed to hear. Also, the inclusion of Gainesville as a source of reference for people that will probably be your market. I cannot wait to see you actually start this company and build a customer base. Congrats!

    Johnathan,
    Your most recent pitch is certainly an improvement when compared to your last two. Nothing was really wrong with the previous ones if I'm being honest, yet this one really seems to get the point across. The use of statistics really grabbed my attention, especially since you addressed Gainesville and it's population. The one thing that sticks out to me is that at times the pitch can seem a little monotonous, maybe the use of props like a menu could really grab the viewer's attention. Overall great job!

25A – What’s Next?

EXISTING MARKET: What’s next? The next step for me is targeting local restaurant businesses and pitching my services to them as potential customers. In essence, it’s time to make a sale. Path: I interviewed representatives from three companies: Relish, Mojo Hogtown, and The Swamp. With these businesses, I discussed that I believe my next step as a venture is simply making a sale. Each interviewee partly agreed, but was also able to add some insight into what they believe I should be doing next: Relish: Here, I learned that I should start building a “resume.” In other words, I need to get experience under my belt to work my way up to bigger clients. Mojo Hogtown: I did not get much additional feedback here. The only advice I received was to build a convincing case why a restaurant should adopt an allergy menu as opposed to just training servers and chefs to be cognizant and accommodating of individuals with food allergies. The Swamp: Here, I was advised to conduc...

5A Identifying Local Opportunities

In the general spirit of entrepreneurship (that is, in the spirit of solving other’s problems), many of the problems discussed below lend themselves to non-profit solutions. These stories come from a couple of different newspapers that report in and around my hometown near Tampa, Florida. 1.      Community Rallies to Help Fire Damaged McLane Middle School Link: https://www.ospreyobserver.com/2019/08/community-rallies-to-help-fire-damaged-mclane-middle-school/ The story: In July of this year, a local middle school was struck by lightning and destroyed seven classr5ooms leaving teachers to purchase new supplies and move the classrooms to new, portable locations. The problem: Seven teacher and seven classrooms of middle school students are without a permanent classroom location, which could lead to uncomfortable working conditions for teachers and underperformance on the part of students Who has the problem? The teachers, administration, and studen...

4A - Forming An Opportunity Belief

1.  I believe that there is a problem in that not all restaurants have expansive allergy menus. 2.  I have grown up with severe food allergies and around others who have severe food allergies. I have always been more drawn to and virtually forced to eat at restaurants which have expansive allergy menus. Individuals with severe food allergies can have life-threatening complications when exposed to allergens and this is a problem in children  and  adults. Considering my experiences and the fact that the percentage of Americans with food allergies is roughly 10% (and the percentage grew by a factor of 3 between 1997 and 2008), it seems that a small restaurant business would be able to expand their customer base and improve their average customer experience if they are very capable of accommodating people with food allergies. I believe that a company would be willing to outsource the creation of an exhaustive allergy menu to an individual with experience relying on...
