    Nice job setting up the context of the problem, but I think you spent a little too much time putting the listener into the ideal scenario of your “opportunity.” This is a time constraint problem that I think almost everyone can relate too so I would try opening with something very straight forward and to the point. I only mention this because your proposed solution started at around 48 seconds in, which I think is also the reason why you went over 90 seconds. I had a lot of trouble with this myself so I know it’s not easy. You did a wonderful job in front of the camera (I did horrible), and shaving down on the context portion at the beginning of your pitch will help out a lot.

    Hey Kristin,
    I really liked your elevator pitch! It was really well-written, and I think it sold your product well. The beginning part where you asked the audience to picture themselves in a common situation where your product would help was really effective. If I could give some advice, it would be to smile more and fidget a bit less. I did theatre in high school, and I used to fidget a lot on stage, which my director corrected because it draws the audience's attention to your hands and other movements rather than to what you're saying. You already look really comfortable in front of the camera, and I think these little tweaks could make your pitch perfect!

    Hi Kristen! This elevator pitch was great! I liked how it was informative and well-written and caught my attention really quickly by having that interaction with the audience, making them more active within your pitch. This is a great tactic to use when trying to grab your audience's attention. One thing I would say is focus more on the audience and don't move as much. Besides that, everything else was great!

Identifying Local Opportunities  Hospitality businesses face struggles trying to get employees back to work -  https://www.live5news.com/2020/05/27/hospitality-businesses-face-struggles-trying-get-employees-back-work/ With restaurants and hotels starting to reopen in the Charleston area, business owners have begun hiring back workers but are experiencing a more difficult time than expected. Some employees are choosing not to go back to work because they feel unsafe while others are making more money off unemployment than they would if they began working again, therefore choosing not to go back. The rest don't return because they simply cannot due to things like lack of childcare available.    The problem is that within the hospitality industry there seems to be a lack of incentive for the employees to return to work and a lack of resources to help employees return to work.   The owners of these hospitality businesses are dealing with the problem of no...

15A - Figuring Out Buyer Behavior #2 Summarize: All three of my potential customers who I interviewed said that there was no current alternative to the service that the app would provide. The only alternative right now is to continue using the drive-thru as they always had been. However, should another app pop up that wants to compete with the Drive-thru Buddy app they identified factors that would sway them one way or the other. The biggest factor being price and second being quality or effectiveness of the app. One potential customer said, if one app clearly stood out as having superior quality and effectiveness then price would not matter and that would be the app that customer would purchase. If all the competitors had about the same quality then my interviewees all agreed they would more than likely purchase the cheapest one. The transaction for every customer would happen online in the app store on their phone using a credit or debit card as payment. The current plan is to ...

28A - Exit Strategy 1) I plan to sell my app after about 5 years of perfecting the layout and gaining success in the industry, so that I can move on to my next business venture. This is not something I see as a long term position for me, rather a way to work on my entrepreneurship and business skills, so that I can move on to something that I am truly passionate about. 2) I plan to sell my business in a relatively short period of time, because I believe that the app will either reach success or prove to be a failure rather quickly. While, this app is something that interests me, it is not a true passion of mine to run an app and that is why I would like to sell it in the early stages.
