Assignment 9A - Testing the Hypothesis Part 2


My product from earlier was a foam insert that will keep all light from entering a room. Thus, helping people receive better quality sleep.

People Outside my Solution
Who: People who live in certain parts of the world that do not receive much daylight would have no need for this product. Also, people who say they are not affected by incoming daylight would be critics and would likely not purchase the product.
What: The point where this product different from something also used to keep light out such as curtains is that this product fully blocks all light. It would be used in lieu or in tandem with already established light blocking objects.
Why: People inside the boundary desire a better sense of sleep and are affected by daylight more. The people outside are naturally different. It is based on their biology.
In
Out
Who is in: People who use curtains or blinds but still notice the light that comes in on them when sleeping during the day
Who is not: People who use curtains and feel they are adequate enough to provide proper sleep
What the need is: the desire to block all light from windows, not just some
What the need is not:  The need is not a fashionable way to replace curtains, but rather it is a utility.
Why the need exists: some people are lighter sleepers than others, they are more affected by environmental factors and thus they would appreciate this
Alternative Explanations: Some people might just want the privacy that blocking out all light can provide

    I know a lot of people like my dad, a few of my uncles, and couple of friends who work nights and sleep a lot during the day. So, people who work nights could be part of your target market. I like how you specified that the product is not to replace curtains or blinds, but they are to provide a service for those who really need it.

Assignment 25A - What's Next?

Existing market Interview summation - After asking 3 people who are already part of my market, I was told that I should look at other ways to optimize certain parts of people's day. I was told this would be a great way to ensure that my company will be sustainable and will not have only 1 product that it can rely on.         Path for the future - For the current short term, In should focus on starting my company and securing funding to actually produce my product. Then we would start manufacturing and larketing the foam panels until we are profitable. Once I felt that the company was in good hands and in stable condition, I would step back from the company and shift my focus towards a different venture.         I would start to focus on optimizing other parts of people's lives, Instead of just focusing on ways to optimize sleep, I want to find ways to optimize people's daily lives. This company would work on developing products to help with d...

Assignment 28A - Your Exit Strategy

After securing a dominant position in the market I would like to be come a large corporation with hopes of passing my business down to my son or a suitable CEO. Hopefully this company would be in a secure position in which it can be profitable for generations to come. I feel that this strategy will allow me and my family to maximize the revenue from this company. Even if my family was not running the company, they would still have a large ownership stake and board seats. This would protect my family for generations and secure their financial future. I do think this exit strategy is the culmination of my plan throughout this venture. My plan was to achieve a very secure position in the market and grow into a large corporation. This was always my plan from the beginning of this class. Thus my exit strategy is to continue this pattern of growth and profitability forever.

Assignment 29A - Venture Concept No. 2

    OptiPanel Venture Concept Write-Up          After extensive research, I believe that an opportunity exists to help people obtain a better and more fulfilling sleep each night with only the use of one product. Windows currently let in too much light for people to sleep well. By optimizing this and preventing all light from entering, nightly sleep can be optimized. The people who have this need are aged from 18-30 and are looking to maximize every single part of their lives. These people are often working multiple jobs, or taking more classes than they can handle. They need to squeeze every minute out of their days. These customers shop at budget minded stores because they are focused on getting every little bit they can squeeze our of their paychecks. This opportunity is prevalent across the nation for people this age. People currently use curtains or blinds to cover their windows however these products are inadequate. They let in light during ...
