Elevator Pitch No. 1


The opportunity I chose to act on was the need to efficiently find scooter parking. I chose to implement a new app called “ScootSafe”. This app works in conjunction with a sensor that would be put in front of a scooter zone. Every time that the scooter would occupy a spot, the sensor would tell the app that the spot is taken. This way, no one would have to drive around in circles and find a scooter parking spot. Additionally, this would eliminate the traffic that would occur when students on scooters block the road, waiting for someone to drive out of a spot. I thought that this would be most effective in helping people get to where they need to be on time.

  1. Cindy I thought ScootSafe is an awesome idea. Scooter traffic is a big problem on campus. I proposed a new parking garage in my elevator pitch. The only critique I can give you is that you wore a t-shirt and not business attire. Your idea is great and you can check out my elevator pitch at http://jackiepanetta.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html

  2. Cindy, I really liked the creativity of your idea! I think having a system like this available fo not only scooters, but for car parking garages, would greatly improve the lives of those that need to travel to UF. For the most part, you knew your talking parts and you had nice flow but you would stop sometimes to remember the next line. Great job overall

  4. I really like your idea. Although I do not live on campus, I was amazed to see how many scooters were there when I took my campus tour. I agree with Jackie however about your attire for the elevator pitch. I feel if you pitched this to investors they would love the idea but they would question you because of what you are wearing. Asides from this, great job!

  5. ScootSafe is an awesome idea! I definitely agree that finding parking is very time consuming. The only thing is there wasn't much of a business plan. The app is a great idea, but an investor is going to want to know exactly how you're going to accomplish this, how it's going to be affordable, and how it's going to be profitable. Also, I would suggest wearing business attire for your next pitch. Appearances can go a long way. Great idea! Thanks for sharing! Check out my blog at http://summerborges.blogspot.com/
