I tried to improve by simplifying my talking points and presenting it as a need to potential customers. I think this was more effective but definitely still room for improvement.
Dude, happy 3rd and last elevator pitch. That was clean, the lighting was perfect, and it was very smooth. You seemed very relaxed in front of the camera and were able to get everything across clearly.
) Opportunity- There is a need in the world for safety. This need is shared by all people but is hard to come by in many regions of the world. Many people rely on other nations and foreign militaries for protection. This leaves them vulnerable to being politically manipulated or simply abandoned during a time of need. In a world of highly technical weaponry, especially intercontinental ballistic missiles, it is necessary that people in countries with weaker militaries still have access to defensive measures against these weapons. This market is not incredibly clear to define but would include countries that feel threatened by the dictatorship of North Korea or highly combative Middle Eastern nations.

I also think through ideas more quickly and can see if an idea will have any chance at being feasible. The experience that helped me the most was the interview processes. The feedback not only helped to formulate a business plan but led me to find out that something I thought would have a high demand really doesn’t. The interviews made me see that I need to better understand the consumer base in the market I want to target. I probably enjoyed the bug list the most actually. It was cool to see that an issue you can find a solution to is the start to many products. I definitely feel like I have gained a more entrepreneurial mindset and also have a stronger desire to run my own business. In order to best foster the mind set of a rising entrepreneur and also be successful in thi...
