Elevator Pitch No. 1

    Hi, Emily! I like that you're trying to eliminate the middle man and that your app would sift through a million food photos for ones that only have a certain number of likes. I think that would definitely help narrow down a potential customer's options. And I hope I am not out of line in giving a few critiques to your elevator pitch but I think more emotion (just seem a little more excited :) ), enunciation, inflection, and including a fun intro to draw the audience in would really benefit this presentation a lot! You were very professional and clear in your idea, however, which is really great!

    Hey Emily, at first i'm not going to lie I was not too on board with this idea. However, after watching the video I really like it. I like that I will be able to find a restaurant and reviews and photos and what not in one simple place. I actually need this more in life now than ever. Gainesville is a hard area to find good food in and this app would be my saving grace.

    Hey Emily, I thought your points on your app were nicely organized for a short elevator pitch. Like Rana states I think you needed a little more emotion and a way to connect with people. You seemed to be very composed while talking about your product and the overall feel of the video was professional. I would love for this app to be made.

Elevator Pitch No. 3

A reflection on the feedback you received from your last pitch:  The feedback I got on the first one was basically to have more emotion and create a hook in the beginning to get people interested. I didn't get much feedback on the second one but I definitely took the feedback from the first one into account while doing this one. What did you change, based on the feedback?  When I recorded the first and second ones I was reading from a rough script so I could easily remember what I wanted to say. I also had to stop and rerecord a few times because I messed up. But this time, I had it mostly memorized and I didn't need a script at all. I also only needed to record it once, unlike the other times. Also, I added an opening hook which neither of my previous ones had and I, again, tried to show some more emotion to keep the audience interested and sell them on my idea. Overall, I was definitely more comfortable doing this one than I was doing the first two.

Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 2

Alternative Evaluation: In my interviews, I learned a lot about customer needs and wants when it comes to my app. It seemed they would be unwilling to buy this app, and would only download it if it were for free. I explained that it was my original plan to offer the app for free, and make revenue from ads and sponsorships from restaurants. One of them suggested to maybe even take that a step farther and make the app downloadable for free, but have additional in-app purchases for new features, which people could buy if they are interested. I thought this was a great idea and potentially could make for another successful part of the app. How/where do they buy: It was obvious to my interviewees that my app would be available for download on the App Store for iPhones or the Google Play store for Androids. They agreed that there would be no version of my product that would be sold elsewhere at this point. Post-purchase evaluation: The people I interviewed all agreed that the most import...

Final Reflection

The experience that sticks out the most to me in this class was the "What's your secret sauce?" assignment because it was really interesting to hear what the people closest to you think your biggest strengths and best qualities are. The most joyous experience for me in this class was figuring out more details about my app idea through these exercises and getting a better idea of what steps need to be taken if I actually want to create this app. I am most proud of myself for completing the elevator pitches effectively and stepping outside my comfort zone because that's not normally something I would enjoy doing. I think I have definitely developed somewhat of an entrepreneurial mindset by taking this class. This class has taught me the thought process that an entrepreneur goes through in order to develop a solid idea and execute it well. There are many components that come with thinking up an idea and actually making it feasible. To future students taking this cour...
