#29 – Venture Concept No. 2
My Opportunity: The opportunity that I identified was the need for a new app that could aid runners in sustaining a consistent pace when they participate in outdoor runs. My product would only apply to a select group of individuals, as not everyone is a runner or is concerned with their pace. I am specifically focusing on athletes, competitive runners, and true beginners. I would also consider targeting a radically different target such as personal trainers and gyms who are looking for new technology. My product will create value for these people because they come in contact with my original target market and could increase the trainer-athlete relationships. There are so many variables when it comes to running and pacing is a difficult one to control. There are many pacing problems that occur very commonly outside, which can consist of over-striding, gassing out too early, or losing control on hills.

Hello Taylor,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your pitch and how you presented your information, it is obvious that you are knowledgeable in the subject of running. Posing questions in the beginning may be a good way to attract attention as a hook, but think about other methods to shock audiences and make them engaged such as statistics, funny anecdotes, etc. Stand up and be more dynamic with your hands! I can tell you've done research or have knowledge but are you really passionate about the subject? I think standing up and being more dynamic can definitely present yourself as more passionate. Also, I'm happy that you included your "ask" at the end for feedback, but maybe you can ask about something more specific for us to leave feedback on. For instance, I asked if my movements were distracting in my video. Great job!
Hey Taylor,
ReplyDeleteI love the idea! Pacing while running is something that I find incredibly hard to control and maintain. I do agree as well that maintaining a great pace can conserve crucial energy that can help you finish out the crucial part of the run. This is an incredible idea that could change training for runs forever! I also loved how you ended with asking for feedback putting yourself out there for feedback. It shows that you are looking to grow!
Hey Taylor,
ReplyDeleteI love your idea about creating an ankle bracelet to control your pace. I had to go back to review what your idea was but I know many people that don't know how to keep their pace. I like the idea of it being on your ankle because I'm someone who doesn't like things on my wrists. I thought your elevator pitch was good too!
