17A- Elevator Pitch No. 2


I thought it was most important to clearly describe the problem, why it's a problem, and the solution. Additionally it was important to mention that the competition is non-existent and there is a very clear market for this product. The feedback I received was positive but I wanted to make sure I spoke slowly and clearly and explained the idea better. As a college student myself, it is easy to think that everyone understands what it is like to be in college. Many people did not go to college or had a situation or arrangement that did not involve any of these issues meaning they would not be able to understand so easily. Because of that I made sure to be as clear but concise as possible.

  2. Hi Benjamin,
    I like how your goal for your second elevator pitch was to be more clear and concise about your idea. You are right when you said that not everybody understands what it is like in college so great job in that aspect. Your idea would be really beneficial for a lot of students and there isn't any competition so it would be great if you could actually go through with it in the future. Good job!

  3. Hi Benjamin,
    I think the housing idea you have come up with would be a very good option among other options for housing for UF students, and other college students around the country. I think apartment complex are ripping us off, making us sign 12 month leases when the vast majority of students leave for the summer. It is ridiculous that they know what they are doing by making us sign these 12 month leases, taking about $2000 dollars from us for no reason depending on where you live. Also, nobody wants to sub-lease anyone's apartment, because that would entail living with randoms. Hopefully one day this vision will become reality.

  4. Hi Benjamin,
    You clearly described the problem and why your solution is the most adequate. Your professional attire also helps the pitch. Your revisions are great changes, since it helps others who may not be in the age range or that situation to understand why it is a problem. If you wouldn’t have explained it and left it restricted to that age group and those with direct experience, many of those listening to the pitch would not understand or be interested.

  5. Hi Ben,
    I was very impressed with your elevator pitch! I thought it was very professional, and you hit all the key points about what should be in an elevator pitch. The only thing I would suggest changing would be to possibly add some statistics. Possibly about the amount of college students who are in need of your product. With that being said I really enjoyed listening to your speech.
