Who, What, and How I Know

Growing my Social Capital

  1. Study Edge program in Gainesville, FL. They are a tool used by a lot of college students to help them study and gain good grades as a result for it. This is mostly used when students have exams coming up and want to have an extra security blanket when it comes to studying. 
  2.  The slot they are filling is the domain expert.
  3. I found them because I see a lot of my classmates using them and when I would ask about extra studying tools, they would always recommend Study Edge.
  4. I have used them once before so that is the only exchange we've had. I was fairly pleased with the service and how much extra help it actually was. 
  5. If I were to include them in my network it would be beneficial because they could give me insight on how to go forward with my business because they are under the same category. They could tell me the ins and outs of running a business like this.   

  1. Smokin' Notes program in Gainesville, FL. This is another popular study tool that people access when they want extra studying help on their exams and their classes in general. They are known for having great notes in regards for exam help but they only do it for a certain number of classes.
  2. The slot they are filling is being an expert in the market.
  3. Similar to Study Edge, I found out about them through classmates of mine that were keen on using this service. I would also see them set up around the university handing out coupons telling students to use their product. That enticed me to want to use their product to see what they are all about. 
  4. Smokin' Notes was the study tool that I've used the most in regards to studying for exams. They have helped me a lot with exams meaning I definitely got my use out of their products. 
  5. I would include them in my network because they are already well known in this category, so I think I could learn a lot of things from them in regards to how to get my service out in the open.

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
