Elevator Pitch No.1





Good afternoon!

I am not really sure where I am going with this, as far as who I am pitching to for this first one, so I took the approach as to pitch to my potential customers. It's a large market, but a limited one also, especially for this class. At this point, I am not sure if I would need to pitch to investors. I welcome any feedback that you may have.

My business opportunity is a car service for children who are active in extracurricular actives, Mom-Mobile. (That name is up for debate) As parents, we often find ourselves short on time with lots of activities on our schedule. Our children have sports practice or dance lessons that they need to attend. These practices are vital for group activities, teaching our children valuable skills. We want our children growing up to be an active part of our community, but often have trouble getting them to these functions. My solution would help solve a good bit of these time management issues. As a single parent, I have safety concerns for my daughter.  I do not want her going with a stranger to these events, however I often can not get her there. The answer to this is carefully screening stay-at-home moms who are often going to these practices/lessons anyway. Why not put some money in these mom's pockets while ensuring that our children can safely arrive to and participate in the activities of their choice.

  1. Hi Carolyn,

    Although I'm not a parent, I feel you have a great idea here! The idea of having stay-at-home mom's as the drivers is genius because who wouldn't want to make money while on their way to a place that they're already going? In terms of your pitch, I think that you did a really good job about reaching parents through your relatable examples! Great job, keep it up!

  2. Not going to lie, your closing line was absolutely delightful. I like your pitch in all, I like how you moved your hands, you were very charismatic on screen, and your idea is absolutely wonderful. My only point of advice is to cover the logistics a little bit--how much is it for the customer is it vs. how much is the person getting paid, is there a certain restriction on who can be a part of the programme (people with certain cars for instance), and other ideas like that. But great idea in general!
