I am a hardworking, sport loving, former athlete that enjoy to learn and
continuously get better. I want to get better at everything I do whether it’s a
job, a hobby, a sport, it doesn’t matter. I am a thinker. I am a former two
sport athlete in football and baseball and a former collegiate baseball player
with the aspirations of being a scout and eventually a general manager. I am
the type of person that wants to do things to their fullest potential and am
always looking for ways of improving and bettering ideas. I am also the type
that wants the best for everyone and wants the best for society. I understand
the importance of being educated not just in a classroom but being educated
about the job being done.

This service is mainly for college seniors that need an internship for
graduation, or want to gain credible experience. I also want these internships
to offer pay to the students who are accepted into the program so that don’t need
a second or third job. I hope that through this program that would be added to
universities, that they could build partnerships with businesses and companies
that would accept these interns.

This program is for college senior in need of an internship. Previously I was
hoping to offer this to all college students but I believe it is most important
to offer it to those in need.

This is not an idea that will have paying customers but rather it is valuable
to the student, the school, the partnered businesses, as well as society.
It will benefit all parties. Allowing students to grow their knowledge of the
potential work field, allowing partners to find potential employees while
seeing them in action, and allowing the school to create partnerships and send
graduated students into successful futures.

What sets me apart from other is my “best for everybody” nature. I am not
thinking to make a profit but rather help everybody involved succeed in their
own way. I think that will really drive the success of this program. I am a
hard worker that does everything to the fullest and would allow that side of me
to drive this idea forward.
I
feel that my pieces fit really well together. I believe they are ready to be
put into reality. There are other aspects that need to come together in order
to be a final product but the idea and the necessity are there.
My
biggest feedback was to narrow my market to those who need it. Originally I wanted
to offer this two a bigger market in college and even down to high school
students so that they could gain experience as well. I have decide, at least
for now, that this idea should be narrowed down to just those seniors. My other
feedback has been about the process staying competitive. With this I have
realized that there needs to be a thorough application process.
Ryan - thanks for sharing your updated idea napkin. I noticeable improvement from your original idea napkin. I agree with your decision to narrow the scope of the opportunity, even perhaps as a proof of concept. Although, I feel confident this idea will grow quickly to support other segments, including undergrads and technical school folks. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHey Ryan, I really like the drive you have. We share that quality, its either 100% or not at all. I believe the initial beta stage will be difficult to get up an going. However once you can get proof of concept and a large name school on board, this idea will spread. It is smart to start out with only taking on college seniors, but hopefully as more time develops you can add on juniors and even sophomores.
ReplyDeleteI am really glad your narrowed down your market to seniors. They are the ones who need it the most and the others can just wait until they are a senior to participate which is fair. As the program grows, you could go back to your original idea of offering to all college students but I am not sure allowing high school students to participate would be a good idea. College students are the ones who need the program and it would not be fair for a college student to lose out on the opportunity to someone still in high school.
