Demo Day and Pitching Experience:

Demo Day is an exciting and nerve-wracking day for any startup. It's a chance for us student entrepreneurs to showcase our business ideas and startups, our progress, and our potential to investors and potential customers. It's an opportunity to get feedback, to make connections, and to get funding. But it's also a high-pressure situation that requires a lot of preparation, practice, and confidence.

One of the keys to a successful demo day is having a clear and compelling pitch. A pitch should communicate our business idea in a way that is easy to understand, memorable, and persuasive. It should convey the problem we are solving, the market opportunity, our unique value proposition, and our team's qualifications. And it should do all of this in a concise and engaging manner.

During the actual demo day, it's important to stay calm and focused. Remember that everyone in the audience wants us to succeed and is rooting for us. Make eye contact, speak clearly and confidently, and don't rush through our pitch. And be prepared to answer questions from the audience. This is our chance to showcase our knowledge and expertise, so don't be afraid to show off what we know.

This means conducting market research, talking to potential customers, and getting feedback on our idea. Third is the need for a strong team. Building a successful business requires a team of people with complementary skills and expertise. It's important to find people who share our vision and are passionate about our idea. Next is the importance of adaptability. Starting a business is a journey that will be full of ups and downs. It's important to be flexible and adaptable and to be willing to pivot our business model if necessary. And also the value of networking: Building a network of mentors, advisors, and potential investors can be invaluable for any entrepreneur. Attend industry events, join entrepreneur groups, and connect with other entrepreneurs in our community. And lastly, the role of persistence Starting a business is not easy, and it will require hard work, dedication, and persistence.

Over the past two weeks, I attended a lecture series on business that featured successful business owners who shared their experiences and knowledge. Through this event, I learned several important things that I have engraved into my mind.

Firstly, I learned the significance of conducting a patent search to avoid legal disputes and improve my product's claim. This search helps me determine if a similar product is already in the market, which will allow me to make necessary changes to improve my product's uniqueness and avoid infringement.

Secondly, I learned that there is no right timing to start a business. It takes dedication, knowledge, faith, and courage to start a business venture. Waiting for the perfect timing will only delay progress, and it is better to take the leap and work towards building a successful business.

Thirdly, attending events, symposiums, and discussions on business is highly beneficial as they provide an opportunity to gain new knowledge and experience, fueling curiosity and excitement. It also enables one to consider different options and learn the dos and don'ts of the business world.

Lastly, I was touched by Miss Keren's story, who had started and had several businesses. Her experience taught me that while we cannot control everything in our lives, we can control our emotions and how we respond to things. It is essential to learn from our mistakes and never lose the courage to start again. I resonate with Miss Keren's quote, "No Grit, No Glory," which emphasizes the importance of having the courage to keep moving forward, even when faced with challenges.

In conclusion, attending the lecture series on business has taught me valuable lessons on starting and managing a business. I am now equipped with the knowledge and inspiration to pursue my entrepreneurial dreams, armed with the belief that courage and grit will lead to great things.

The purpose of the survey is to test the validity of the hypothesis for the online transportation booking service CASTER, a suggested startup business. The premise is that there is a sizable prospective target market and that the company can satisfy the demands and solve the issues of the interviewees—the majority of whom have responded favorably or have been won over by the concept of the startup business.Using five (5) respondents in an interview, the hypothesis was examined or verified. A total of six sets of questions were asked throughout the interview, covering the following topics: what do they see, what do they say, what do they do, what do they hear, and what do they think and feel? There were two different questions that made up each component type.Whether or not the business can satisfy the needs and solve the issues of the respondents to the interview will be determined by the findings of the validation survey. According to the respondents' responses, it was discovered that the upcoming business CASTER was the best for many students, particularly those who have classes starting at 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. In addition, they love how convenient it is to book online, with less hassle and a greater sense of security. The only question that triggered their minds was, "How long will it take to fetch us and how long will it take to travel to their respective destinations?" However, most of the respondents agreed and liked the terms and conditions of the booking application, and they also realized that the business was best for them and others.In conclusion, the new business that was suggested was able to meet the demands and problems of the majority of interviewees, and the majority of them loved and appreciated the idea behind the suggested firm. Additionally, there may be a sizable market.The group came up with two (2) main solutions for dealing with the issues raised: (1) Modifying the plan, and the group will take the instructors' advice to change the startup product to a larger potential target market in order to accommodate a large number of commuters and, of course, help service providers have more income by having enough customers to fill a full vehicle. (2) change the startup that provide portions for employees who work or attend classes, regular commuters, students, or faculty. Different and adjusted pricing for these areas will be in place, with much more logical costs and advantages. The team opted undecided with our current business model even it draws a sizable market, offers a pathway for replies, and yields positive responses, however we need further research/observations from the rela drivers and commuters if its really fit our business in CMU. For better outcomes, a number of methodology and validation surveys will still be carried out.Having a broad mentality in business will actually give us the best business or product that will suit us as individuals who are still starting a business. Starting a business requires us to have a highly open mindset. The team discovered that in order to progress, it is crucial for us to be more open to criticism and suggestions, to be more open to the potential results of each step we take, and to bounce back and come up with a better plan that would be advantageous and equitable for everyone. Sharing ideas with groupmates and coping with our difficulties in resolving a certain problem with our proposed business is such a relief for everyone. It will make us more responsible and active, not just for our business but also in our community. Maybe the best word that I should have within this week of doing our business is "participation," because we are all engaging and participating in achieving our main goal, which is the CASTER.-Ronel B.
