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.

I understand this idea, but the issue is, in reality, how much can you carry on a scooter safely. Scooters are already a dangerous form of transportation, and also only prominent on the UF campus, not all college campuses. Also, driving to any area farther from campus can make driving on a scooter more dangerous, especially at night. This idea is a great one, but I would not rely on only scooters to be your only form of transportation of these delivery services. Maybe split it up between car and scooter owners so those with cars can drive at night, and to places far from campus. Otherwise, great idea.

ReplyDeleteIf you are not IDing people it is quite possible that the company would get in trouble with the law. It's certainly not an additional thing you'd want to deal with when starting a business. Other than that just getting competent drivers and advertising via word of mouth is probably the other advise I would give. If you are interested, I will leave a link to my blog post below.

Hi Brian, I like most of your idea. I have heard of other places providing a similar service but you’re right that college towns would be a gold mine. The only part I think you might get into trouble for is the not IDing folks. If that person goes out and does something stupid they could probably sue your company.

ReplyDeleteYour idea is confusing to me. I have heard of this idea before as well. It seems like you would make it better though. What are the benefits to this though? What is your long term plan? You definitely will have to ID people though. Here is mine: http://entreprenuershipisamindset.blogspot.com/2016/04/venture-concept-no-2.html
