Here you will find my Venture Pitch<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Reflection:<\/p>\n

I must admit that this is one of the assignments that I have struggled with the most during the MET courses. I have no business experience, even though my father and sister are both entrepreneurs. I have a much greater respect for what they do.<\/p>\n

Weakness<\/span>:<\/p>\n

When I first saw this assignment I didn’t think it was so bad.\u00a0 I enjoyed viewing the pitches that we critiqued early on in the semester.\u00a0 Then it came time to create my own venture…I struggled for a long time thinking of my venture.\u00a0 Once I decided on my product I was at a loss for where to begin.\u00a0 I searched out possible options in the area I was thinking of, sought out advise from others, and ran my ideas by anyone that would listen.\u00a0 The biggest struggle I had was knowing where to begin in my negotiations.\u00a0 I feel like I have a good concept but was not able to present the argument for it as I would have liked.\u00a0 I think that the Venture Pitch was not as strong as my elevator pitch.<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/span><\/p>\n

I think my presentation skills (pitching and producing multi-media work) were a strong point on this assignment.\u00a0 Where I lacked in practical experience and knowledge of the business world I was able to put a presentation together that I am proud of.<\/p>\n

The product idea I created is a good solution to the collaboration limits that are presented when trying to use a SMART board with a large group of people.\u00a0 There is often only a few engaged and the rest are not participating and many not even following along with the work on the display.<\/p>\n

Overall<\/span>:<\/p>\n

While I struggled with this assignment I am glad to have had the experience.\u00a0 I have enjoyed hearing about the ideas of others and I look forward to seeing their work.<\/p>\n
