Elevator Pitch No. 2 - Assignment 17A

The pitch.

A reflection on the feedback you received from your last pitch.
One of my fellow students in the class really enjoyed my pitch, but he had a few suggestions on how I could make it better and that's exactly what I did. The classmate told me that I could extend my target audience to high school students and universities across the globe. The student also suggested that I link my users' other social media pages to their profiles on my app in order to expand connections. I thought the idea of offering high schoolers this app was odd at first, but the idea slowly grew on me as I began to think of how helpful such an app would've been to me in high school with hundreds of kids in my graduating class that I never got to know. I knew that linking people's other social media pages was a great idea from the beginning and I was happy to receive that feedback as well.

What did you change, based on the feedback?
After I read these comments, I thought about the unlimited potential for this app and I got really excited. My app may start at the University of Florida, but when I get enough funds to expand, I'd love to reach out to various high schools and universities around the world. Also, I now see that I can include users' Facebook profile links on their homepages along with their phone numbers and email addresses. Considering apps like Instagram have been successful in doing such a thing, I decided to include that in my pitch as well.

  1. Great job on the assignment Brad, your assignment was well organized and showed each section clearly since you used bold lettering for the sub headings. I can see a lot of improvements since your last pitch and the tweaks you made make a big difference. As for your idea its awesome! It will seriously help a lot of students including myself. I hope you continue to pursue your idea.

  2. Brad,
    I think it is great that you listened to our fellow classmates and took advice on how to expand your customer base. I think that expanding your app to high schooler is a great idea that will help you grow exponentially. In addition, I think that the idea of connecting other social medias with your app is a great way to continue to grow along side the big name social media brands like instagram and facebook. Overall, I think you did a great job.
