Idea Napkin No. 1

1. My name is Luis, and I am an entrepreneur. I am creative, thoughtful, and I am good at socializing and holding conversations with people. I am great at working with a team or by myself. My skills include being motivated and driven, delegating tasks, and working well in a team environment. My aspirations for my opportunity are that people will not have to worry about parking. Students at the University of Florida incur many expenses while attending this school. Many students cannot afford a form of transportation outside from the bus system. Even though the bus system is helpful, it is usually unreliable. In order to create a more reliable means of transportation, I would like to implement a scooter rental service. Overall, I hope to be able to fix the problem and provide students with an inexpensive way to get around campus without having the fear of or being late to a class or meeting, or not being able to move around the Gainesville area because of unreliable transportation.

2. I am offering customers the knowledge that they will be able to move around campus and the Gainesville area at their desired time, and that they will be able to arrive anywhere on campus without the fear of being late because of missing the bus or having unreliable transportation. Also, I am offering this service in the most inexpensive way I know, because college students all ready incur many costs and I want them to be able to use this service without the stress of figuring out how to pay for it.

3. I am offering this service to anyone in the Gainesville area, but the customer demographic is students of the University of Florida. My customers are undergraduate or graduate students that do not have a personal form of transportation. They are people that have a lot to do with their day. For example, they have class, meetings, sports, etc. These people need a reliable source of transportation fir their schedules.

4. They care because they do not want to be late for these different events, or miss them all together. This group of people is paying for an education, and it is in their best interest to attend classes and meetings, and to join different groups around campus to widen their horizons. A scooter would help these people to be able to organize their day better, by giving them the peace of mind that they can go where ever they need to whenever they need to. They do not have to wait for a bus, taxi, or an uber to arrive at their destination on time. I am providing them with a solution to this problem, and taking away the cost of having to purchase a scooter, which most students cannot afford.

5. I am providing customers with a new idea. This idea has not been implement elsewhere, and there are no other companies doing this. Since I am also a student, I can relate to my customer demographic better, by understanding their needs and wants. Also, I am providing an inexpensive service compared with actually buying a scooter. Purchasing a scooter can cost between $700 - $1200 or more, and my service will cost about $10 at the most.

I believe that these elements do build on each other. This is not a business idea that I thought of to make money. I believe that college students deserve a reliable form of transportation that is inexpensive, and college students are all ready asked to spend a great deal of money of tuition, books, and other necessities. There is also a possibility of making this opportunity free if colleges were to fund it, by providing students with free scooter rentals as long as they sign liability waivers. Overall, there is an opportunity here to help college students.
