30A – Final Reflection


1. Looking back throughout the semester i can see that i was dreading the beginning of the semester a little bit. I thought that this class was going to be a lot of work but it wasn't at all and pretty enjoyable. 
2. i will for sure remember my venture concept and the elevator pitches because i have never had to do something like that before.
3.Yes this class has taught me how to think more like an entrepreneur which is not only helpful if i wanted to be an entrepreneur but also in many instances of life.
4.just stay focused on top of your assignments and you'll do fine it seems like a lot of work at first but its not at all.

29A – Venture Concept No. 2


1.The app idea i created spawns from a great opportunity to market and turn the app into a thriving entrepreneurship venture. The under-met needs are an informational source for the bars of midtown. The unmet needs are information on current updated information on drink prices, drink specials, cover pricing, special event dates, and real time video footage of lines along with line estimates.
Who is needing these unmet needs are the students of the University of Florida and students of Santa Fe college that indulge in midtown bar activitys through out the year and would like information from the bars before they go out. These unmet needs have came about from the lack of good bars at UF causing Fat Daddys, Rowdys, and JJs Tavern to become overcrowded and packed to the point line wait times can be up to an hour long on busy nights. Since the end of Cantina 101 RIP this unmet need has existed and students have relied on the word of mouth of friends that are already out telling them how bad the line looks or if there is cover or not.   

The innovation of my app started as just a free informational source and throughout the class if have thought of other ways to produce income from the app. So basically the app provides you updated info for everything you need to know about that night along with future events that might be going on the future. The app also links with facebook and shows you where your friends are out at so you can meet up with them. The app also allows anyone using the app to create pings for events and pings for where they might want to go out to which they can invite any of their friends to. There are other apps out there that provide line wait time estimates, but mine would provide live video of lines you can access from the app provided by the bars security footage. What i have found out is that to produce income for the app would be using it to promote certain events and bring people out to events that are but on from businesses and bars around gainesville. The sponsors would pay the app to promote such events to generate more costumer show out.

The venture part would come easy mainly because there is really no other apps in gainesville that have something to this extent. With the right marketing and promotion of the actual use of the app i think everyone in gainesville will eventually have the app downloaded on their phone.. there is two other apps in gainesville that have similar objectives, but this app would combine everything together so you would only need one app to do everything along with adding video footage. Since there isnt a product really just a service cost of packaging or other cost of selling a product are non existent. The only thing the app would need to run after being programmed and created would be the steady sponsorship from said bars as well as a team of promoters and app designers that would increase the production of the app and increase the downloads and events pinged on the app to keep it relative to UF students.

My most important resource would definitely be my ties with midtown ownership and management from being a employee of said bars. This will aid in producing the app to full efficiency and success and could spark new ideas from working close net with the bars to aid off each other and expand. The next step would be using the app to promote unrelated activities to nightlife such as philanthropy events, concerts, and festivals.

2. i didnt get any classmate feedback unfortunately i wish i did but no one commented

3. i guess the only thing i would change is maybe talking to midtown management and including what i information i find from them and including it in my venture concept maybe sparking some new ideas form their opinions

27A – Reading Reflection No. 3


1. The Art of Social Media by Kawasaki is basically a strategy guide to building your social media profile for your business venture. It shows you the tips and tricks you need to follow to build your presence and gives exact insight on how to make the perfect post. As well as guiding you to building a perfect profile on popular social media outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, it shares just how important having a good social profile can be.

2.I think the book really connects with the class at least for me because my venture was a social app. In order to launch my app and have it be successful it would take severe social media marketing to gain users of the service.

3. For my designed exercise i would have students create a social media post to pitch their desired venture they chose at the beginning of the course and use the tips and tricks from the book to see how could get the most likes on it.

4.What surprised me the most is how much success could come from marketing and promoting on something a simple as Instagram. its crazy to think that marketing could go from billboards and tv ads to seeing an ad while you are trying to see your best friends latest update. 

28A – Your Exit Strategy


1. my exit strategy would definitely be selling the app to someone i trust younger than me that would continue to be in gainesville.
2. i would sell the app because i would not want to stay in the college partying environment or gainesville any longer than i had to after i graduate. i would use the money to travel around the world.
3. my exit strategy hasn't really influenced my business venture that much, but it would give me the money i would need to do what i want to in the next step of my life.

26A – Celebrating Failure


1. at the beginning of this semester i was taking 16 credit hours with a 5 credit Chinese course. This was a huge mistake granted that i just transferred into UF from Santa Fe this semester and didn't realize how the work load was going to be. So i failed the 5 credit Chinese class and had to withdrawal and
 2.learned that i would have to study a lot more and work a lot harder to be able to take as many classes at uf.
3. this class has made me realize that failure is part of success and taught me how to think outside the box a little more.

25A – What’s Next?



existing market 
1. the next step for my business venture would be the promotional process i would have to market the use of such app and have promotional events to get people to use the app and send invitations to friends.

2. tiffany white - thinks promotional items such as merch for the app would bring popularity and use to the app.

jesse jones - needs to set up bar tabs to bring people out and show them how the app works.

conor searle - would like to see an expansion to other bars such as the use of the app at some of his favorite bars downtown.

3. to start i think the merch and promotional bar tabs would set incentive to download and participate in using the app. It would also show the bars how much more people would come out to mid with the use of promo bar tabs and events. when the owners of the bars see the increase in business they will be more inclined to sponsor more ideas for the app to grow.

New market

1.My new target could be using the app to set up different events than bar related events. such as using the app to set a ping to promote campus events or concerts in gainesville.

2. the value could be created from the app providing more of a turn out of people to such events not related to going out to midtown or any other bars.

3.corbin champo - could use the app to promote her sorority philanthropy events to raise more money for good causes.

Dj artist that lives in my apt complex. - says he could use the app to promote his concerts and also show ticket prices and show how many people are expected to turn out to the venue.

4. I learned that the app could not only be used as an informational source, but a promotional tool for all events planned in gainesville which would produce much more revenue.  

23A – Your Venture’s Unfair Advantage


1. Avid user of midtown and work at midtown.
my experience with what the bars need is extensive.
rare because i have ties with owners and management because of being employed there.

5. Technology 
valuable the tech we have today makes creating a service like mine extremely easy.
rare because an app that creates more business with little cost is hard to come by.
inimitable hard to copy same from ties with midtown to make is possible
non-substituable.

valuable app brings people together
rare usually being on your phone using an app disconnects you with people 
inimitable 
non-substituable.

8.my interest
valuable ive wanted an app like this to exist ever since i was a freshman 
rare no app exists in gainesville that has everything you possible need  to be a efficient information source 
inimitable monopoly on location would only let my app exist their.
non-substituable 

9. Profitable
valuable the app would create more business for the bars and intern make more customers to the app
rare not many apps can have a profitable relationship with other businesses coexisting.  
inimitable ties with mid make only my app possible

10. rewarding

22A – Elevator Pitch No. 3



2. All my feedback on the second pitch was positive. On my first pitch they only encouraged me to add how i was going to be getting all the information  i needed to make my app work so i included that on both pitch 2 and 3.

3. From doing the pitch three times ive noticed the speed increase and my pitch a lot more clear, loud and dynamic. I think doing the assignment this many times has really fine tuned the pitch and made it quite better than the first go.


21A – Reading Reflection No. 2



1.What was the general theme or argument of the book?
The general theme of the Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman is the explanation of how your brain fights with you and decreases the efficiency of ones economic decisions. Kahneman explains the process by using three explanations, the first of which is that your brain is wired to think in 2 systems. System one is considered subconscious or automatic and rather impulsive. System two is conscious and acts on logic and reason. Kahneman thinks that both systems hardly coexist and fight with each other over control which can prompt mistakes. The second explanation is that your brain is inherently lazy and when given a problem to work out it will choose the quickest and easiest answer and is not always correct causing errors. The third is that humans will often tie their emotions in with their financial decisions  which causes the person to choose less efficient choices financially then someone that only thinks business and financial success when it comes to handling their money. Overall the book breaks down how people think in regards with money and tips on how you can rewire your brain to think about financial decisions more efficiently. 

2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
I believe that this class has mainly taught me how to think in a different way to by using entrepreneurship tactics and the book has that in common by providing another way to think about how you are making decisions with handling your money and what/how you spend it on.

3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
I would set a discussion post with a list of questions that the book provides examples of such as ones like when the book gives the baseball and ball question and shows how your brain will often pick the lazier answer instead of the correct. You would answer the questions before reading the book then after reading you would use the tips and guidelines to re answer the questions using Kahnemans outlook.  

4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?

The book explains something known as the Florida effect i really loved this experiment mainly because im from Florida but also how cool it is. They basically took 2 groups and made them arrange randoms words into sentences with one group having words that had to do with old people like wrinkle, retire, and Florida then timed how long it took them to walk down a hall to finish the study and they found that the subjects with old person related words walked much more slowly down the hall subconsciously.

20A – Growing Your Social Capital



1) One person must be a domain expert in your industry.

Dylan Glicksman 
21 year old UF student that promotes for an app/company called Twenty with similar ideas to my app
Domain because he knows all the information about how the app runs and how they are marketing it for use since he works for them.
His relation to me is that he is my big brother in my fraternity and have worked together with him in other social media promotion jobs.
We help each out as friends whether that be with help with homework or opportunities to get involved in previous jobs. 
Including him in my network could be useful in gaining experience in marketing and promoting my app.

2) One person must be an expert on your market.

Ryan Mueller
UF alumni and one of the managers and former bartender of jjs, rowdys and fats.
Market Export because he is a manager of jjs/rowdy/fats and has the same customers that would be using my app.
He is now one of my current managers being a bouncer at midtown and have talked to him about the app.
He is the one to put in the good word and got me hired and is a friend of my also an app like mine would help his bar gain more business.
Including Ryan in my network would help me get direct help with attaining approval for video feed and accurate data to feed my app.

3) One person must be an important supplier to your industry
Christian Estrada 
UF alumni and top manager of Top Tier entertainment in the Gainesville region.
Supplier export because top tier could supply promotion events at bars and have bar tabs for down loaders of my app.
My relation to him is that he was the my boss when he hired me to do social media promotion for Top Tier entertainment.
promoting the use of my app at his events would create more clients for my app and in turn bring more people to his events.

This assignment made me recognize that people i know could help me with making an app like mine super successful and that  its always a good thing to network and keep close ties because you never know who might be able to bring your idea to the next step or make it a reality.



Idea Napkin No. 2

1. You- My experience goes hand in hand with my product/service. Going out is one of my favorite things to do and i usually participate in going to the bars  2-3 times a week. My app would benefit me as well as anyone that goes to midtown. I hate waiting in lines and so does most of everyone else so an app like mine would help me out.

2. What are you offering to customers? My app would provide live video feed of the lines at JJs and Fats with approximate wait times and exact cover price. The app would also show what friends are in what bars and show what drink specials are available on each night.

3.  Who are you offering it to? The consumers of my app would be specifically students that go to midtown in general, but mostly students that go to jjs and fats. The bar owners and staff would also be in the picture because i would need support from them to make the app work.

4.Why do they care? Students would buy this app because the lines at JJs and Fats are almost always insane and the avid goers of said bars are addicted to going out so anything that gives them an extra edge to get out earlier is worth the few bucks on the app store

5. What are your core competencies? there are apps that have some of the features my app does like fomo and 20, but no app has live video feed in gainesville and is what separates it from the rest because will live feed you can see an accurate depiction of how long the line is gonna take instead of just an inaccurate estimate like fomo does. The video eed would be subjected to approval from jj, fats, and rowdys to use provided security cameras on the lines connected to the app. 

I believe my elements all work together to provide a truly successful app that done efficiently and right would be able to produce a great service to the students of UF. The only weak point of the idea i could see is that the data needed to produce live feed and accurate information would have to be from the bars, so if there was a problem on their side it would directly effect the app.

I used the point in my feedback that live video feed would set my app above the others.
as well as another point of feed back of explaining more of how i was actually gonna get real time video feed from the bars. 

Friday, March 15, 2019

https://youtu.be/J1YsvtZS5XE

2. My feed back was almost all positive the only thing people didn’t understand was how I was gonna get the the information for the app and how I was going to connect with the bars.
3. I made changes on talking about the sponsors of the bars and how they were gonna be the the ones that provide the information so the app runs.

18A – Create a Customer Avatar



My customer avatar is somewhere between 18-24,  college student age. Goes to the University of Florida or feeder college such as Santa Fe. The customer  has money either by part time day job, scholarships, loans, or help from family to be able to go out a lot and spend money on drinks. Most likely takes uber or walks to come to the bars and use the service since DUIs arent cool. Typically my customer is in greek life because JJs and Fats is full of greeks. Probably feels older than they actually are due to the fake they use to get in under age. I am my own customer, pretty much have everything in common with my customer avatar because if this service were to exist i would be a customer using it.

13A – Reading Reflection No. 1


1. What surprised me the most about Ray Kroc in his Grinding It Out autobiography is that it wasn't until he was at the age of 52 before his career and success really took off. Most people are winding down and thinking of retirement in the next 10-15 years at this age, really shows his motivation and tenaciousness.  In the text Harvard calls him equivalent to Henry Ford which being a huge admirer of both Harvard and Ford i admirer that Kroc got that name for himself by one of the most prestigious schools in the whole world. I least admirer Krocs salesman choice in starting his first business in selling disposable cups because i'm a huge proponent in not littering and anything disposable means more trash and environmental harm. Kroc spent 52 years of adversity working 16 hours a day and not having the success he aspired to gain.

2. Krocs exhibited competencies in creating the biggest and most profitable market in the fast food game and has gone done in history as one of the best entrepreneurs world. Still today McDonalds still holds the title in the game as the best and i think that its amazing that Krocs work still strives today.

3.When the text refers to Krocs battle with his paper cup company and multimixer company over contracts and right to income confused me some because i didnt know how it was possible a company could claim 60 percent of Krocs income just because he had a older contract with them.

4. I would ask Kroc why he choose to continue to struggle in the salesman game for so many years instead of turning to another line of work. Id also ask him how it felt to turn basically a small little burger shop into something America knows as a staple to them.

5. I believe that Krocs opinion of hard work is striving to succeed no matter how hard it is, how long it takes, or what failures a person might have to go through to come out on top.

14A – Halfway Reflection



1. With having to work 25-30 hours a week and not getting off work till 12:00pm on most fridays I have used planning around my work schedule to keep up with the class. By figuring out exactly  what days i need to do upcoming assignments solely based on what days i work and dont work it was been pretty easy to stay on top.

2. At the beginning of the class i thought i was going to have to withdraw due to taking 16 credit hours i thought this class along with my other classes was gonna be too much. After completing a few assignments i found my tenacious attitude and knew i could push through.

3. make sure you plan out when you are gonna do assignments at the beginning of the week cause theres no going back if you miss one. The syllabus makes it seem like there is a lot of work you have to do but its not that bad. If you stay on top of the work can be an easy A.

12A – Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 1


Psychographic on lifestyles relates to my segments needs. My app is based off the users lifestyle and that lifestyle has to include going out to have a need for my app. When interviewing my 3 drinking buddies that like to go out as much as i do they all have the same unmet need of not wanting to wait in lines at mid and never knowing when there is cover and when there isn't. While interviewing them i found out that their needs existed everytime they went out due to going out on popular days. To combat this need and gain information on what time to go out and how long the wait would be they solely relied on word of mouth and hitting up friends that were already out. From this information i found that there is such a high need in my segment for an app like mine because simply relying on word of mouth like my interviewees do does not work well and causes them to still wait in lines from the word of mouth not being updated quickly enough.

11A – Idea Napkin No. 1


1. You- My experience goes hand in hand with my product/service. Going out is one of my favorite things to do and i usually participate in going to the bars  2-3 times a week.

8A The Second-Most Important Part of Entrepreneurship


The opportunity relating to the problem of UF students not being able to get enough updated information regarding wait times, number of students in bars, which friends are in bars, cover prices, and drink specials. My idea to solve these problems would be both a product and a service that is sponsored by pertaining bars at midtown to update students on all the information that one might want to have before he/she goes out. I would use either a 3rd party app or social media platform with live feed from sponsored  bars of lines and inside the bars, as well as updated number of how many students are inside and in line with approximate wait times and updated cover prices and drink specials.  The updated information would be supplied by sponsored bars from bouncers counting students entering like they already do as well as management providing info on drink specials and covers. The app would update supplied info and would let members post their location and where they are going out to so you can see what friends are out. I know app like this do exists but, this one would include all the info that you would ever need and be updated efficiently with camera feeds which i know doesnt exists in gainesville. 

7a You Have An Opportunity, Now What?


Part 1: The opportunity - Midtown bars are overwhelmed with extensive line wait times and lack of information about how many students and who is in specific bars as well as little to no information on cover prices and drink specials.

Part 2 : 
Who- UF students that enjoy Midtown bars.
What- students have little information on wait times, cover, specials, and who is in which bars at midtown.
Why- there is little updated information on the Whats described above produced by the bars themselves or 3rd party apps.

Part 3:
The who for this specific need only pertains to UF students who go to midtown, but in bars around america this problem exists.
The boundaries of the what is that not everyday these problems exists and not all bars at midtown share all of the same whats.
Boundaries to the who is that not everyone that goes to midtown sees all the described whats as an issue resulting in them not using the information that should be available.

Part 4:
Alex Indar : -is a student that attends midtown bars
-has issues with wait times most times he goes out and experiences problems with knowing if there is cover or not.
-would use information about wait times, cover, specials, and who is in bars if said information is provided.
Scott Burgess : - is a student that attends mid
