Venture Concept no.2

Opportunity: The children (relative term) of Gainesville need to be able to get alcohol safer and easier. Driving is a whole new step that could be a fun time with one's friends but also could end in yknow, death. So it's a good idea to knock it out. Scooters make this an easier reality to actualize, since they augment the mobility of a hypothetical delivery team that I could put together. This window of opportunity will be open for pretty much until someone actually makes something like this in Gainesville. I feel like kids (myself included) are just gonna get more lazy. So it'll be here.

Innovation: There are apps with the same idea in Los Angeles and large cities like that, but in little college towns, where the industry would probably thrive if prices could be kept reasonable, it seems a new idea. The idea being to drive around on scooters and deliver alcohol and tobacco, other vices, to people all around Gainesville. Click of a button. Probably upcharge the products like 5$ to what it's bought for, keep the company small so profits can be split and remain lucrative for al involved.

Competetion is stores that dont ID. My secret sauce is Me.

Feedback probably happened but I didnt look at it. But one idea is the whole thing is immoral and faulty.

Google Gold

1.) So I had virtually no strategy in drawing traffic to my blog, and honestly was unaware that was a goal of doing this. I put sports racers as a hashtag in the first one because I was excited for this class and like zefrank and would like to attract similar people. That's about it.

2.) I dont really use social media too much aside from facebook and tumblarina so there was no advertising. I have an addictive personality and if I use those things I waste too much time on them so I stay away. tumblrs worth it though.

3.) Ok so switch this one and number 2, woops. But my key words would be the titles of all the posts I guess, aside from just my regular patterns of speech I didn't change up my syntax at all. I'd imagine the word alcohol came up pretty frequently.

4.) My first elevator pitch did, probably some controversy on how I formatted it or something. Or people liked it.

5.) No. Because what why would that happen.

Very Short Interview, Part 2

The interview seems like a long time ago and also like I was much more serious about this class back then. Mr. Day is a cool guy.

B-How do you feel about the notion of wasting time?

J- Well if you're doing something, you may as well find a way to make it meaningful to your life, so I think that wasting time is a waste of time.

B- I'm going to be a teacher do you think thats a good idea?

J- That fits you nicely yes

B- I think the assignment meant I had to ask entrepreneur based questions but they didn't specify that so i'm not gonna. Well actually do you know how to spell entrepreneur?

J- Don't cut corners so much, also yes.

I'm a pretty comfortable person, as long as i'm talking to someone who is also comfortable in their own skin. So i'm not quite sure how to gauge if there was an increase in how comfortable I was but I was definitely ok with it. Jamie seems to be content with how i'm progressing.

Celebrating Failure

I'm a person with a good bit of anxiety, and therefore stay in my comfort zone if possible. A realm in which I fail pretty frequently is beating my friend valence at basketball. I can get him sometimes but most of the time he wins, or his team does at least. He's just quicker and better overall. He is also 29 so thats 10 years experience. I stop him better than most other ive seen at SW though. With this failure as well as the others I run across in life, I tend not to even think of them as failures. Just learning how to life better. Yes life is a verb there. I just learn to play different and mostly with more confidence when i play with Valence or anyone who is good and pushes me. Life is a series of chances. Do it. Bye.

My Exit Strategy

I plan on not doing anything that makes me feel a little dirty, for a living at least. For example, selling alcohol to people. As far as an establish a position for myself sort of thing, anything goes. So this is acceptable, especially as a hypothetical idea. But I think i'd go with the sell early thing for something like this. There's so many ways to make a living in the world, and doing something as common as easy as making a small business grow isn't really and appealing or fulfilling idea for me. This is my plan of action because morals. It didn't effect my methods of going about thinking of the venture.

Venture Concept No.1

My venture concept is Alcohome, an alcohol, and other vices, delivery service. This is an opportunistic idea to unleash in a college town seeing as the main demographic that would go for something like this is college aged students who still use poison on the frequent. That's slang, i'm hip. Anyway, the need itself is, as the kids may say, chaotic good. It's a service that could save lives, and more importantly, time for people to do more desirable things with their flesh prisons instead of going out and getting there liquified grain. This could be extremely beneficial in the fast pace society we live in today, especially in college. If Alcohome were a thing in 2009, it would've been mentioned in Asher's song. But on the flip side, it's providing people with alcohol and other means of slowly killing oneself, and making it ok to be even lazier in the means of acquiring this stuff. This however is not a tall prison, because it's easy to rationalize that people will get their fix regardless when it comes down to it. Right now, in Gainseville, people are getting friends to buy alcohol for them. Like right now as you read this I promise even if it's like 3am. This will happen no matter what. But this window of opportunity will always be open in college towns, until the opportunity is seized. This is innovative because it brings something to people that they usually have to go and get. It provides convenience and a sense of instant gratification, which people need these days. It's not life changing, but it's a neat idea that could very realistically become the norm in contemporary society. Until we like 3d print our alcohol or get injections or something better like the means to actually love ourselves and be comfortable in our skin. People will switch because it's easier. People will like the job as well i'd imagine. Competitors are shops that don't ID kids, because those are always an option. Coming up with a business would be fun. I'd imagine like 10 delivery people and some others to oversee everything runs smoothly. My secret sauce is me. I'll see something done if I want too. Next would be weed when it's legal and if this thing works in Gainesville I'd like to expand to other college towns, ideally all of them except FSU because im petty and that would be funny. And leave the market open over there for some idiot to try this and most likely crash and burn hilariously. Good Day.

Amazon Whisperer

Driver number One: Alcohol sales. This will at least in theory be the most lucrative aspect of my business. It's a college town and people are smarter and lazier than they've ever been. If words spreads it'll go well.

Driver Two: Tobacco sales. This will hopefully be a smaller denomination of the population, but people are also addicted to tobacco. So morals out the window, ill supply. it. At least they dont have to waste time and lung capacity. Or Jaw strength let's not discriminate against the dippers.

Next: Well in a few years weed will be legal. That's something that could benefit tremendously from a delivery service although im sure it'll be a fun time getting around all the contrived laws that come along with it.

Introducing weed, and maybe eventually food when enough of a name is established for it to not be a waste of investment, will only augment the purchase of everything else. The three things go together like peanut butter and jelly. And more jelly I guess because if you put too much peanut butter on then it gets all chunky and stuck in your mouth whereas jelly just makes a mess which is what this company is going to help people do to their houses.


Um there's not really anything like this on amazon. I could liken it to how people subscribe to get monthly supplies of sorts of food or protein powder to their houses. This technique has gotten pretty positive reviews, and offers freedom in choosing the quantity or ending the service, which I believe are the only two factors aside from the product itself.
