Here's my second elevator pitch for my venture Post Back. Hope this clarifies my idea for anyone who has commented on my other posts without me explaining the idea!
As for reflections on the feedback from my last pitch, first thing is that I now know to set my youtube videos on "public" when I upload them. I had a lot of encouragement but unfortunately some people were unable to view my pitch due to my incompetence. My favorite comment from the first pitch was the person who suggested report buttons for unwanted or inappropriate content on every site. My knowledge of the internet is limited, but I do know that you can download extensions to your web browser that could serve in this function. I'm adding that idea to the list of things I can work on.
The comments saying that so and so would never send nude photos of themselves even if they were dating were insightful but overall not too helpful. My idea deals with the end result of someone violating another person's trust by posting confidential photos. Saying you'd never send photos is great but that's blaming the sender and not the person who posted them. It's a personal preference to send nude photos or videos but it is, or at least should be, a crime to post something of someone that was meant to be private.
Other than that, most of the comments were about people urging me to take on this opportunity because they felt that there is a need for my idea. Which is encouraging and really appreciated, but I am looking for more feedback on things like the profitably of the business or the legality or the threat of competitors. All thoughts welcomed, though, and big thank you to the people who commented on my last pitch!
As for how I changed the pitch, I condensed my information and tried to point out the harmful effects of revenge porn as well as introduced the technical ways in which I hope to achieve my business.
Hi Cassy, I found your opportunity and solution to be very interesting and potentially very helpful. I haven't really taken the time to think or look into the topic of revenge porn but know that it is a sensitive and life altering issue. Posting nude pics of someone is extremely unethical and should be considered a crime. People's reputation and image are at stake. Your solution to get rid of or hide the pictures using reverse search engine optimization sounds really cool and I like how you explained it. I hope you continue to develop this idea and maybe make it a reality one day. Good job!

I agree with most of the comments about taking on the opportunity. As far as profitably and other ideas go, I’m not sure I am much help. As far as the threat of competitors, is there much of one? I haven’t heard of an idea like yours before – maybe I’ve been living under a rock? Lol nonetheless, I really think you’re on to something and I hope you’re able to find the answers you’re looking for. It seems like an opportunity to be successful – you just have to figure out the other factors.

ReplyDeleteYour elevator pitch was very put and your service is very interesting and well thought out. I was very informed by the end of the video! You seem to really hit every point about your service. Maybe you could go into the cost for someone to hire this company, maybe even a promotion for college students.

Hi Cassy,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed listening to your elevator pitch. You were very clear not only with the way you spoke but also on you product and the audience you are targeting. I like that you used statistics to back up the need for a service such as yours. I haven't really looked into this but I haven't heard of a service like yours so I'm not sure if there are competitors but if you know of any I'd like to hear a mention of them and why your product stands out from theirs.

Hi Cassandra!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your business idea. I think that you were very direct and informative. You seemed really confident and it is clear that you know what you are talking about and what audience you are focusing on. There are many people out there who would be more than grateful to use your service. It is a long shot because of how technologically complicated it is in a way but i totally support it and will root for you if you decide to go ahead with your idea. I think it could be very successful, especially among college students and people who are uneducated about how serious this concept is. Great job!
Wow Cassandra,
ReplyDeleteThis is by far the most original idea that I have heard in this class so far. I think that this idea is not only one that definitely has potential to gain profits, but is also one that is actively seeking to help people in society. Most ideas that I have heard so far are inventions or technological applications. This "forum" that you aspiring to create however goes beyond just the technological interface that you are choosing to create/use. Your idea seeks to impact and help society directly.

very interesting blog post! I really enjoyed reading about your topic and watching your video! As far as the profitability of your project goes I think that is could be a very successful business venture if it is legally possible and marketed well. This could easily come across as an internet scam if not marketed correctly. However, I think this is a great idea not only ethically and morally but as a business venture as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat pitch! First of all you kept it quick and too the point which helped highlight the idea. The idea itself is very unique and seems like you've thought it out thoroughly. I didn't realize that only 26 states had laws in effect; that was an interesting fact and immediately shows you've down your homework. Good luck with this venture. You could positively affect hundreds of thousands of people with this idea!
