As the pitching approaches, we did many validations for our portable tumbler. What we noticed was that many people even if they don’t always travel, they want to use portable tumbler especially mothers who have students. But the only problem is that they can`t afford to buy it because it is too expensive for them. So, we think of another start up and we came up of an idea. The multipurpose pen.
We came up of this idea as Ma`am Lagura is talking in front. One of my teammates said that what if we make a pen can be used in both blackboard and whiteboard. The concept is just like the magic pen that can switch colors. So, the pen will look like an ordinary whiteboard pen but it can be switched to a chalk. To add more features, we will put a PowerPoint USB wireless presenter that has laser for PowerPoint presentation. Our main target for this startup will be the instructors and teachers that uses PowerPoint presentation in discussing their lectures.
We already began validating the multipurpose pen as soon after we decided what it will book like. We went to USTP faculty rooms and asked some instructors if they are willing to use the product or not. And to our surprise, all of the faculties that we validated were fascinated and want to use test it immediately. But of course, we only presented a drawing for presentation. Also, some made suggestions like adding volume for the speaker and we hope that we are still trying a way to add this feature.
For now, we are still researching for the parts and we are finalizing how the product will look like in order to make a sample one. We are also preparing for the pitching and we will be using this start up for the incoming pitching next week. We will validate more to get more comments and suggestions of what they want.
stay tune for more updates :D
