    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!

Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2

Interviews: Anthony In talking with Anthony, he told me that he doesn’t really have a problem with parking on campus. He told me that for the most part he doesn’t really move his car that much during the school year except to go home. He usually tries to tag along with other people when he goes places that way avoiding having to move his car. He said that he has always been able to find a spot in the lot he wants coming back to school from weekends at home. He said he probably wouldn’t use a parking app just because he wouldn’t want to waste his time when he knows he’s most likely going to get a spot where he wants. Jacob In talking with Jacob, he told me that he does sometimes have problems with parking on campus. He told me that most of the time when he goes shopping he has a hard time finding a spot. He told me that he usually has to circle around the lot a couple of times to get a spot near his house. When I asked him whether or not he would use a parking app he said that he was u...

Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

Opportunity #1: This first regulatory opportunity I found is a need for an increased number of accountants due to the new tax law passed under the Trump administration. This opportunity was found in the news and on the TurboTax website. I believe that the information in the news suggests this opportunity exists because with the change in regulations it is very important to have a large number of accountants to deal with that. I think the most likely customer is every large corporation as well as individuals who need help navigating the new tax law. I think the opportunity is easy to exploit if you have an accounting degree because many people will need help interpreting the new tax law. I saw this opportunity because I have done a lot of recruiting with accounting firms and have experience through the people I’ve talked to there. Opportunity #2: The second regulatory opportunity I found is the need for an increased number of people skilled in tariff law because of the new tariffs imp...

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.
