    Hi Skylar. First off, great pitch. You did an awesome job presenting your idea that was understandable and relatable. Personally, I also write pretty hard, and often lean my hand on my paper, so I struggle with the same issue that you describe, as the pen ink either leaks onto the back of the paper, or my hand becomes covered in ink. I would buy your product on the spot.

    Hi Skylar,

    Well done with your elevator pitch! I enjoyed hearing more about your product and solution to the aforementioned issue of gel pens bleeding through paper. You did a great job of putting the prospective investor in the shoes of the customer, helping them share in that frustration.

    One thing that I think you could work on more is spending more time on the actual details of the solution itself, perhaps doing research or seeing if such a thing is already out there. It's definitely a problem that needs solving, but I'm very interested more as to how.

    Otherwise, great job!

    Hey Skylar,

    Awesome Job on your pitch! I loved your hypothesis on the bleeding ink through paper from pens, and the solution to this issue. I loved how you put yourself as the seller but also gave a nice view from the investors eyes. I also enjoyed the focus on why this is an issue even as small as it is, it can be so frustrating why not just create something to fix it.

    Hey Skylar, I enjoyed watching your elevator pitch! You were definitely able to get the point across on the situation you were trying to solve by providing a physical example on what it was! This definitely allows there to be a better understanding on what you are talking about! I can't argue anything bad about your pitch besides maybe explaining a little bit more on how exactly you might make the new pens to not have it bleed through the paper. Either way, it was great!

    Hi Skylar, great job on your pitch. You were very professional during your presentation. This is definitely a problem I struggle with, so I would definitely love a solution to it! The only suggestion I have, is to maybe explain yur solution a little bit more. Tell us exactly what your solution is. Overall, you did great though!

14A- Halfway Reflection

1.) In order to keep up with the requirements for this course, I have learned it is very important to keep a calendar of all upcoming assignments. I have found that if I am aware of which assignments are coming up, I am far less likely to miss an assignment. That first point follows directly into my second point, planning ahead. Planning ahead and taking a look at the assignments due is crucial to ensure you have enough time to complete the work thoroughly. 2.) I did really poorly on a Statistics exam this following week, and I felt extremely discouraged. I wanted to drop out of the course, but what made me pull through was my support system. My friends and family made me realize that one test score is not my final grade, and there are people that can help me bring my grade up. Recently, I have been working extremely hard on that coursework to ensure a better exam grade next time, which I believe illustrates my tenaciousness. 3.) First, I would say it is so important to keep yourse...

29A- Venture Concept No. 2

1. Opportunity      The opportunity that I decided to look further into has to do with ink pens bleeding through to the other sheet of a piece of paper when you are writing. This is an issue whether you are writing an important document for work, or if you are an artist using an ink pen to create something. I'd say customers are currently satisfying this need by using pencil instead of ink pen, but I wanted to create. a product that would change that. A product that would take the "ultimatum" away: ink pen that will bleed through, and pencil that won't show up. My product would utilize a mixture of both ink and gel ink so that bleeding wouldn't occur. 2. Innovation       My product uses a balanced mixture of gel ink and liquid ink to fix the issue of leaky, smudgy ink pens without forcing customers to compromise. My pen will allow people to continue using their pen of choice- a smooth ink pen without having to ruin their project with ink bleeding. My ...
