Part 2 Interviews

-


Testing the Hypothesis pt. 2
    For the interviews I conducted, I picked people that could be closely related to the general student but don't have the same need that the student would have.

1. The first interview I conducted was with a parent that has an excelling high school student. They fall outside of this boundary because they don't have the need of wanting their child to do better or needing to study more. They think their child is doing more than enough and getting good grades as the result of that. The need here for this parent is more along the lines of hunger, the hunger of wanting their child to keep doing better in school and to not fail. I think the need for the parent has been there ever since their child started going to school. As for the student, the need only comes occasionally when they want to raise a grade they aren't happy with or to past time by studying. 

 Inside the Boundary Outside the Boundary
 Students needing extra help  Parents of the students 
 Wanting to get better grades but don't know how to start The need is more for the students bettering themselves, not the parents
 Students may not be learning well in class Students shouldn't have to make it the parents issue. Parents should be there for the students and guide them to do the right thing. 

    After interviewing who I wanted to, I learned that the parent and student have different needs for schooling and getting grades. The boundary is very slim between them and it could easily be closed due to the parent possibly being too strict or too in tune with their grades at school. It is always good to have that support from the parent when it comes to school but they should know to back up when the time comes.

    Hey Rachel, I think you have a really good opportunity here. Lots of students fall behind in school do to learning disabilities, they don't learn the same as the majority or even problems they face at home. I think those that struggle the most are those in low income who cant afford tutors or extra help for their child which can be frustrating.

    Hi Rachel this is a very nice and thoughtful idea. The only thing is that you are not first to market. Schoolers, Study edge and smokin notes are the major players in this tutoring/study help field. Its ok that you are not first to market, but then I would expect to read something new/innovative about your take on the business. How is your tutoring service different form the rest? I also think that parents do not really have much to do with this topic other than maybe help provide funding for some students to be able to afford the service. Students in college are adults: they ultimately have to decide to take the extra step in order to put in the additional time to study with a tutor. I think that the students that fall outside of the boundary are the students that are satisfied with their grades and do not want to put in the extra effort or pay for a service. Another type of student that falls outside of the boundary could be a student that is in a special program phd ect.
    Thank you.
    Looking forward to more of your ideas I hope my suggestions help.

Existing Market : I think what's next for my venture is reaching the international market and seeing if I have any potential internationally.  After interviewing three people, they all had the same basis of what they wanted next for this product. Even though my program is online, they want it to be transcribed in person and have places that they can go and meet with a person one-on-one who is employed with the company. When I asked them about going internationally, they thought was a good idea but in their eyes it was going big too fast. They think I should worry about building a reputation in the U.S before I move on to something internationally.  After listening to m interviews, I think the best for my company ans Study Buddies is to grow as much as I can in the national market. I will look into finding places that could be designed as "headquarters" for students to come wither their parents (if needed) to sit down and have meetings about the students progress or to get

Venture Concept #1

    Opportunity : Giving students a chance to earn better grades by adding on extra study tools for them for their own advantage. There isn't any changes in the environment that is creating this opportunity. My target market is students from the grades Kindergarten to College. There is no age limit to my service but the main age range is 6 years old to 25 years old. Now, customers are currently satisfying this need by studying for themselves and gaining access to outside resources when need be. I think customers are loyal to what they are using now because they think there is nothing else better for them. I plan to change that with by service I am putting in place. This opportunity is big because I am giving students who need more help than others a chance to excel in school and develop the grades they need to feel good about going to school. The window will be open for as long as children are going to school. They will be the leading people in these next generations to come so the
