    Hi William,

    I have encountered numerous issues with parking here at UF. Also, driving around parking garages is time consuming and stressful. I love your idea of an app! It would be so beneficial to know if there are spots or not. This can also help students not receive as many parking tickets because they could see if there are spots available in their zones. They will also get to class in time and not have so much stress about were to park/how to get to class.

    William,
    I can surely agree with you about how stressful it is to park around campus. It is something that should have been fixed a long time ago and the fact it has not is crazy to me because instead it is only getting worse. Because of this, your idea is great and should be put into action as soon as possible. Your elevator pitch had a great start, great way to grab the audience's attention.

    William,
    Great work creating a product to solve the current problem of parking here at UF. With more and more students getting accepted the problem will only get worse as time passes. Your pitch was concise and easy to follow while maintaining the attention of the audience. Attire was great as well as you want to maintain a certain level of formality during such event.

    William,
    I think the idea of your app is awesome! There have been so many times that not only at UF, but places that have large parkings like theme parks or even sporting events that I wish I knew if and where there is parking. I think the idea could be very successful, not only on college campuses. You were confident in what you were talking about and that confidence did stand out to me. Thank you for sharing your idea, great job!

Growing Your Social Capital

Nick Domain Expert through classes The person has mutual friends with me and I contacted him through those friends. Nick was very helpful in explaining the app building landscape for me. He has a lot of technical experience including building apps and other computer programs. Nick explained to me a little bit about the process of building an app and how to keep it secure. There was no return expectation from me. He enjoyed explaining his work and helping me out with a school assignment. Nick is very knowledgeable, and I think I could use his expertise and advice along the way with building this app. Jan Market expert through classes This person is a fraternity brother of mine. Jan is an advertising major that attends the University of Florida. He explained to me a little bit about the knowledge that he has learned about marketing to millennials in his advertising classes. Jan is a friend of mine so there was no return expectation. Having Jan in my network is great because I am not the ...

Your Exit Strategy

I think my ideal exit strategy for this company would be to stay with the business for around a decade and then sell it to someone else. The reason I have picked this particular strategy is because eventually I think my product might become obsolete as technology moves ahead rapidly. Within the next 10 years, I think that my product will still be relevant and could command a high price from buyers. My exit strategy has influenced other decisions made in my concept. The main thing it has influenced is the fact that I want to spread the product quickly for maximum growth. In ten years when I would go to sell my business, I would want to have a maximum amount of growth to command a higher price when selling the company. After selling the company, I would attempt to stay on in some sort of board member role that way I could still be involved in retirement.

Your Venture's Unfair Advantage

1. I have good human capital with my connections through the business school. This resource is very valuable because students in the business school have a wide range of experiences to help with growing a business. It isn’t really that rare because there are a lot of business students. It would be pretty easy to copy but I do think that it is non-substitutable because UF students are some of the top students in the country. 2. I have taken public speaking and networking classes to improve my social capital and ability to speak with others. This resource is valuable because the ability to speak with others is very important in selling an idea. It is rare because there are certain people good at public speaking and others that are not. It would be pretty easy to copy by taking classes but there is no substitute to good communication. 3. My knowledge of technology is very broad because I have decided to pursue a Master of Information Systems and Operations Management. Th...
