Hi, this is my elevator pitch for the opportunity I chose. Click on the button below to go to the video!





Video Transcript:

Hi, I have a question for all of you. Who here has struggled to make time in your busy schedule to run errands? That’s what I thought. Well, I have come up with a solution to solve this problem. The solution is a service that you can hire out someone to run errands for you, all you have to do is fill out a service request with all the errands you need done, provide a delivery address and a payment method and voila your errands are done and your busy schedule is uninterrupted. You can get anything done, anything from getting groceries, sending flowers to your mother, buying school supplies for your kid and getting food for your pet all in one order. I know what you might be thinking, I can just order from third party application or from the company directly. Why would you want to place multiple orders when you can have a one stop deal, how great is that. Plus this service is not only for food or item delivery, it lets you pick smaller more specific errands like sending a project proposal to your boss if you are stuck sick at home and can’t deliver it yourself. So the next time you have a huge errand list, don’t worry this service will have you covered. Thank you.

    Hi Maria,
    I thought you did a great job of clearly and concisely describing the problem potential customers may have and helping them picture it. Your solution is well-thought out and you even describe how you plan to separate your service from the competition as a “one stop shop”. I can see this product having both frequent users, on a daily basis, as well as the rare customer who only needs it every now and then. Well done!

    Hi Maria,
    I liked how you talked clearly and passionately during your elevator pitch. You seemed confident and your service and that was definitely portrayed to us (your audience). You did a good job showing the difference between your service from the current ones already in the market. Your service appeals to a variety of people and I think people would definitely use it! Overall, you did a great job on your elevator pitch.

Avatar Description: Name: Olivia Age: 22 Occupation: Electrical Engineer City of Residence: Houston, Tx Bio: Hi my name is Olivia. I just graduated from college and started working as an electrical engineer. I just moved to Texas. I am originally from Portland. The transition has been hard as I work extra hours to make more money because I need a new car. I have a cute puppy named Dixie. I have enjoyed exploring the different restaurants in Houston and making new friends. However, I don't have too much time to run errands during the week due to my social life and my work life. I used to rely on my mom to help me run errands during the week,  Things in common: We are both the same age, I am about to graduate. We both live in cities away from our parents and don't have too much extra time to spend on things like running errands. I don't think this is a coincidence because most people my age have a busy life and usually prioritize work/school and our social life.

Venture Concept No.2

  Opportunity: Being a full-time student, growing up with working parents and being surrounded by busy people made me realized that there is an opportunity to help busy people out. Running errands is an essential part of people's lives but it is also an activity that takes up a lot of time. Many people also find errand running tedious and stressful. The opportunity lies with people that have busy schedules, cannot run errands themselves or dislike running errands. These people need a way for errands to be run for them to relieve their strain on their time or stress that is associated with running errands. This opportunity would be quite big as many people would rather have their errands done for them than do it themselves. Currently people hire delivery services but most of the time these services are specific to food related establishments.   Innovation: In order to exploit this opportunity, there would be a service that would run errands for people that do not have time to r...

Interviews Joseph: In his interview, Joseph said that he believed that the service would be a good idea but he would not use it personally or in the office. He said that he would not use it personally because he has a flexible schedule where he can modify his hours at work and when he has to run errand he lives and works close to a big shopping complex so it is not too time consuming. He would not use it at the office because the office has hired messengers and assistance that run important company errands.  Charles: Charles says that he would not use it because he is a retired person and he enjoys running errands. Charles described errands as part of his routine. He also says that he is very particular about what he buys and how he does his errands and believes that a service would not get the errands done in a way that he would be satisfied enough to pay the service fee. Mirna: Mirna is a stay-at-home mother and does part-time consulting. She said that she would not pay for a ser...
