Assignment 3 – Your Entrepreneurship Story

-

My first entrepreneural experience
When I was younger, my sister and I wrote a newspaper magazine for our neighbourhood. We thought that a newspaper which is customized for our neighbourhood would be definitely something everyone wants to have. So we included news from our neighbourhood, but also interviews with different persons from the neighbourhood as well as a page with jokes and riddles. After we finished the newspaper we went from door to door and asked our neighbours if they would like to buy the newspaper. And it worked out better than we had thought (although that might be lead back to the aspect that we were children and looked way cuter than we do now). That was my first entrepreneurial experience.

Why I enrolled in ENT 3003
I enrolled for ENT 3003, because at my home university, we don’t have courses like this. We always learn a lot of theory but never apply it. What I really love about this course is, that you really do something and develop kind of an entrepreneurial mind. So in the best case, I finish this course and have changed my way of thinking to a certain extent and maybe get some new ideas for further projects.

    Hello Emilia,
    Honestly this story is great. Especially because as young kids to even come up with an idea to come out with a newspaper and chose your audience is awesome. Even though, sadly the newspaper is becoming a thing of the past but as kids its great. My neighborhood still gives out a neighborhood newspaper but it's not something we pay extra for. Great story!

Assignment 24 - Venture Concept No. 1

-
Opportunity First, I would like to explain the opportunity my venture concept tries to exploit. Nowadays many people have a special diet, from glutenfree to vegetarian and vegan. The trend for those special diets is increasing. Around 4% of all Americans have a vegetarian diet, and nearly 50% of all Millennials say, that they eat vegetarian. A lot of those young people cannot stick to their diet when eating outside. Especially fast-food restaurants have very little to no vegetarian alternatives on their menu. Thus, customers have to eat meals with meat instead of a vegetarian dinner, or they have to go for the side dishes, e.g. side salads or fries. The market for vegetarian fast-food restaurants is limited to regions where many young and open-minded people life, i.e. cities or colleges. In those regions, a vegetarian fast-food restaurant would find enough customers to flourish. Since having special diets is a trend, the “window of opportunity” is not open forever, but I think openi...

Assignment 18 – Create a Customer Avatar

The customer segment I chose two assignments ago is characterized by 18 to 25 years old students who pursue a sporty lifestyle and care a lot about their nutrition. In this assignment, I would like to go a bit further and describe a very specific type of customer, i.e. to create a customer avatar. Customer Avatar The prototypical customer I want to describe is a 22-year old girl, who is a second-year student at a US university. Her major is law. She is very ambitious in her studies and strives to finish her bachelor with a very good grade. She is very open-minded and loves to travel – she even made a trip to Europe last summer. After she did an internship at a law firm in Britain, she decided to explore the European continent and made a road trip for one month on her own. Besides traveling, she loves to hang out with her friends, to cook and to do a lot of sports. From going to the gym to swimming to playing ultimate frisbee – she can’t decide what to prefer more.  When han...

Assignment 17 - Elevator Pitch No. 2

Below you can find my second elevator pitch. Reflection on the feedback from my first elevator pitch The recommendation of including some numbers or facts in my elevator pitch was very helpful. I think that it will help the audience to understand how big the problem really is. Additionally, the listeners might take my elevator pitch more seriously because they might that I am really deep in the subject. One classmate told me that he liked the beginning of my elevator pitch a lot. He thinks that I was really good at putting the listener into the shoes of my customer. What I changed Based on the feedback, I included a statistic saying that 12% of all people between 18 and 29y identify themselves as vegetarians. Furthermore, I kept the beginning of my second elevator pitch very similar to the first one. The only thing I changed at the beginning is to address my main target group, students, directly.
