Third elevator pitch

1. https://youtu.be/IvFRP6jN1AQ

2. My last elevator pitch received great compliments. The only advice I received was from Schuyler and Cooper. Both of them argued that I should slow down so that my audience would take in more information and understand my message more clearly.


3. I took this to heart and did multiple takes until my friend who was recording agreed that I was going slow enough. This elevator pitch, I worked on not repeating myself and trying to force too much dialogue into too little time, as I thought this was the cause of what made me go so fast last elevator pitch. After doing this new pith in 58 seconds, I feel that I slowed down a good amount and kept active hands and a strong passion for my topic can still see through despite a slower pace of speaking.

    I am happy that you decided to slow down because it also makes you look more confident and allows the audience to process what you are saying better. It's great that you took the time to rerecord and make sure you uploaded the best video. When you do a real pitch you won't be able to take multiple tries. I suggest in real life to practice this way so you will hit it on your first try!

    I think you did a great job adhering to the advise and slowing it down! This is definitely your best elevator pitch yet. I agree with Esther about continuing practice so that you will be able to succeed on the first try, as you really only have one try with investors. However, IMO, most investors won't be looking into your mannerisms and timings as close as we are. The real important factor is being true to yourself and passionate about your material, in essence being a good people person.

    Chad,
    Great job improving over the course of the semester on your elevator pitches. I am glad that you took my advice to heart and slowed down your speaking rate in order to improve the quality with which your audience can understand you. I would advise memorizing your speech if you were to give it to actual potential clients, but apart from that tip, you did a fantastic job.

I still think my most formative experience was my bug list. It was during my bug list that I realized that it is the things that bother you, that bother others, that creates opportunities for business. To me, realizing this allowed me to realize that the opportunity of students needing money and other students having money to spend for a clean room existed. This allowed me to see and open my eyes to the fact that I definitely wasn’t the only with this problem.             My most enjoyable moments had to have come from anytime I interviewed someone. It was always such a fun experience. Even getting rejected by a passerby still made for a funny story sometimes. But there was genuinely nothing better than when I had a great conversation with someone possibly interested in the idea of my business or my business venture.             I’m honestly proud of finishing up the ventur...

College Cleaners The opportunity that this venture is based off of is that college students living in dorms have a problem keeping their room straight and clean. Students have this problem because they lack the time to clean their room since a lot of time they have an issue adjusting to a busy schedule. The other main factor that causes students living in dorms to have this need is that they a lot of times aren’t used to cleaning after themselves. A lot of students grow up with their parents or someone hired to clean their house and their room. For this reason, it is hard for them to keep track of all their belongings when they are compiled in one room. This need is required every two weeks and on an occasion of messier students, every week. This statement is based off of asking LaZ Dorm, who offers a cleaning service, how often their services are required. After being in contact with the owner, I am well aware and certain this this need is required every week to two weeks. The f...

My exit strategy is one that I don’t see happening for quite some time. I plan on building this business up for the foreseeable future. This business I don’t believe has the ability to go public, however, I am sure that it can definitely expand past just the UF campus. This exit strategy if I had to assume, would come later down the road. I would continue to run this company and invite top and higher executives if I was able to expand the business. I would bring in more experienced and well-developed professionals to aid me in growing the business, however, I wouldn’t give away too much power as seen with Apple and Steve Jobs. I would then sell the business, most likely to a private equity firm, when I felt that I had expanded it enough and want to go on to other ventures.             The reason that I feel that I would stay on working for the company is because I see that this model could be successful past just the UF campus....
