22A – Elevator Pitch No. 3

This was my best pitch yet. I think I improved my pacing and created a pitch that conveyed what I was trying to say in a clear and concise format. I was also much more comfortable in front of the camera and wasn't as nervous as I was, to begin with. I believe that this project created a sense of comfort with public speaking in me. Elevator Pitch

    Hi Robert, this elevator pitch was your best like you said. In the video you seemed more calm and you had more confidence in yourself. We do not realize the little things like this but it honestly makes a huge impact if you are going to get that investor or land the job that you have been wanting. Great improvement.

    Hey Robert! Your Pitches have definitely improved over time. I think that you have a really interesting and novel idea that stands out because of how much knowledge you already have about such a niche issue. I truly hope that you intend to move forward with the development of this idea because what you're doing is pretty interesting. Great work!

    Hey Robert,
    I really like your idea and you seem very interested and informative about the subject. I would like to see you be a little louder and maybe switch up your tone, but overall your pitch was very impressive. This is an outside the box idea that I think has a lot of potential to be a successful business. Great job!

25A – What’s Next?

Existing Market.  Step 1: My product is a semi-commodity that has been a market staple for generations. PS is a market leader in the Mulch Industry and has been growing in popularity since other alternatives have been known to leak colorings and chemicals into the soil.  Step 2: All of my interviews resulted in the very common assumption that PS is an unmoving market. I believe this has a lot to do with PS being a safe, long term financial investment and landowners and owners wanting to see what they hope for any investment: Consistent, stable growth. Step 3: The most sense for my venture grew out of my existing market is to consolidate local landowners and suppliers to capture market share. PS is, with few exceptions, very commodities like with few initial costs, and anyone being able to grow/bale PS. This is only limited by the number of trees you own, and the number of people you have raking.  New Market. Step 1: This targeting will be focused on the B2B portion of my ven

24A – Venture Concept No. 1

Robert Rodriguez ENT3003 July 17, 2019 Opportunity  North Point Straw The opportunity for my venture concept is the degradation of pine straw in north Florida due to changing environmental condition. This degradation was first capture many years ago by examine the decline of Aces planted in north Florida year over year by Pine tree planters. This is the first sign that pine trees are becoming less effective at creating pine needles due to the slow degradation of climate conditions in Florida. Pine trees are to be planted under specific climate conditions for optimal growth. This has become increasingly difficult because the climate in Florida has been moving its temperature patters forward which creates a decreasing window for tree planting to be done. Trees are to be planted at below 45 degrees in order to ensure that the trees do not begin to decompose throughout the planting process.   Growers invest in refrigerated trucks, and nurseries in order to develop the proper

26A – Celebrating Failure

I’ve failed recently at saving animals. I have a farm and we’ve had an abnormally high casualty rate this summer due to the intense heat recently. We’ve lost 2 chickens, 2 sheep, 2 calves, and 2 cows. Besides the coincidence of them dying in pairs, there has been little pattern in their deaths besides the slow exhaustion and sudden death. We’ve tried separating them and using heat shields and medicine but we’ve been unable to keep them alive from the high fever they experience.                This was a particular frustrating set of issues because the animals span different farms, months and food regiments. There is no set pattern or cause that could cause their casualties other than the climate. Its been a bit humbling to have so little control when it comes to mortality. Failure, in this case, results in a loss of investment years in the making. It's humbling but the development of a resistance of failure is important.
