11A: Idea Napkin

You: My name is Josh Eisner I am a sophomore accounting major at the University of Florida. I am from Long Island, New York. One transition that I had to adapt to that is different in florida and new york is the speed of things. Things in new york are done at a faster speed specifically in the city and when involving traffic. I feel that being from New York I have more experience in driving in heavy traffic areas than others from different areas across the U.S. My aspirations for my business concept is to speed up traffic in college towns and make the environment safer in college towns. Speeding up traffic is one of my biggest aspirations to fix because it is something that really bothers me.

What are you offering to customers: What I am offering to customers is a solution to solve the traffic problem on gainesville campus. The main cause of traffic is the pedestrian crosswalks that completely slow down traffic and make cars wait for people to walk across the street. So my solution to this problem is to introduce more tunnels and bridges in gainesville even if they are small. The DNA bridge is a big landmark in gainesville so why not make more things like that around the campus. Another example of this is the tunnel by cypress hall, people use these tunnels daily even though they still have the option to use the street.

Who are you offering it to: I am offering this solution to all people that walk around the campus at the University of Florida. This includes all students, teachers, alumni, and just any other pedestrians. Even though the main people this affects are the walkers it also has an impact on the drivers. Even though they aren’t directly affected by the tunnels and bridges because the bridges and tunnels will be for walking. It will help speed up traffic for drivers.

Why do they care: People should care about my business concept because it is a good way to make the environment better. One thing that people in gainesville complain about it getting to their class late because it took 15 minutes to drive a half a mile. Yes gainesville is a big school that holds 50,000 students but that shouldn’t affect the fact that it takes forever to people to travel across campus either to class or their apartment.

What are your core competencies? My core competencies is to make the college experience better for everyone at the University of Florida. There really isn’t any competition between businesses because it is more of a construction project than a business project. The thing that sets people apart from other is that I am speaking up coming from New York because traffic is something that really bothers me. Also I care about the safety of both my friends and fellow classmates so why not make a change when it is something as simple as building a small bridge.

These elements are all that I need to get my point across that bridges and tunnels should be built to speed up traffic in cars and make walkers feel more safe. The reason why I believe these 5 points are enough because it discusses who is going to be affected and also says what I believe should be done construction wise to perform these actions. I could go into more detail about when exactly construction should begin and where it should begin. I also covered my core competencies which is to make the college experience better for everyone at the University of Florida.
