Reflection from last pitch:
I received several comments suggesting other things I could add if I was creating a consumer facing application. There were so many diverse and great suggestions that it made me realize how many different ways this technology could be used. It also made me realize that I couldn't build something that does everything. That's why I decided to move more in the API direction rather than a consumer focused direction.
Changes in this pitch:
So in response to the feedback that my tone wasn't "warm or happy", I tried to make my tone warmer and happier. Someone also suggested that I not hold my laptop, so I didn't hold my laptop. I also stood farther away from the camera like one comment suggested.

ReplyDeleteHey Parker, I think that you have a really unique idea. I have not heard of anything quite like it before and I think it would be a really useful app. I also think you did a good job of making your tone warmer and happier for this pitch. Overall, I think you have a really great product idea and I definitely think that you could easily find a market for it.

ReplyDeleteHi Parker,
ReplyDeleteName suggestion: SafeRoutes (it's not creative but the good thing about marketing an API is that the name doesn't really matter, just make it catchy)
Great idea, I've yet to hear of a product that wouldn't be marketed directly to the public as a consumer base but I definitely think this idea has potential. Development would be your biggest obstacle so keep that in mind (not sure if you have experience programming or if you know someone that does). With regards to your elevator pitch, try to practice you pitch enough so that you can go through it in one go. In practice you won't have the luxury of editing a video (you'll be talking to a live audience) and as such it's better to practice as if you were talking to your target audience directly.
Hope you continue to improve and develop your idea!
If you have the time please feel free to leave some feedback on my elevator pitch!
