Elevator Pitch No. 1 - Week 5


Hello blog friends! I'm here to talk to you about my wonderful idea for the two part bike lock and app system called Wheel Watch. Wheel watch aims to prevent bike theft by using a bike lock, gps tracking device, and corresponding app to allow you to view where your bike is at all times, and allow you to be noticed if/when someone tries to tamper with or steal your bike. This app will solve the problem of bike theft on not only college campuses, but in metropolitan cities as well where using a bike is a common method of transportation. 

Elevator Pitch (in it's awkward glory)

This was an idea that my classmates and I collaborated on and actually one people's choice at Catalyst. Catalyst is an opportunity for first-year IA students to demonstrate their creativity, passion, and dedication to innovation. Guests include UF administrators, college faculty & staff, IA speakers, local business leaders, innovators, patent attorneys, and venture capitalists.

  1. Wow! Your elevator pitch was definitely well-prepared. I definitely feel like I could have done more to sound as professional as you did. I like your idea very much, and although my elevator pitch was to do with nutrition, both our ideas rely on apps to carry out their effects. I would personally benefit from having Wheel Watch, and I do hope your idea becomes recognized somewhere along the way.

  2. Hi Kristiana,
    I think this is an awesome idea, because there really is not a better place than Gainesville for such an opportunity. Although I do not have a bicycle, I have friends who have had their bikes stolen and would greatly benefit from this. You seem very passionate and excited about this which shows in your elevator pitch. This is also a very practical idea, which I am working on with my own opportunity. Here is a link to my elevator pitch - http://daniellesteinent3003.blogspot.com/2016/02/elevator-pitch-no-1.html
