19A - Idea Napkin No. 2

1) I am a student at the university of Florida. I am originally from Greece but I've lived in Miami, Florida for 5 years before coming up to Gainesville to study. My skills include proficiency in music and disc jockeying, speaking Greek, and generally being a social, open guy. My aspirations include starting my own business, and being successful doing what I love.

2) I'm offering opportunities, unity, knowledge, and growth to my customers. I am offering a website which will allow my customers to connect with one another, learn from each other, and use the knowledge gained to grow and achieve their unmet needs.

3) I'm offering it the average student who has a passion for music and the art of disc jockeying and the hunger for knowledge and growth.

4) Out of all the interviews I conducted, roughly 80% of my interviewees were not satisfied with their progress thus far and the opportunities offered. I believe my customers will care for a solution to their dissatisfaction and will help promote my product to great lengths.

5) I believe my core competency is my creativity and my background knowledge as an experienced disc jockey. I have been DJing for a while now and have struggled a lot in order to succeed. I believe I am familiar with the system and can step in my customers shoes due to the fact that they are reflecting the struggle, obstacles, and achievements I underwent to make it to the point I am on. I also still have a very long way to go and believe my contribution to this will not only be dependent on my entrepreneurship agenda, but also on my objective for personal growth and progress.

I believe that combination of my skills, experiences, and failures, a long with my product will be a great combination to satisfy the customer need and allow me to stand out in face of all the other similar products on the current market.

I unfortunately did not receive feedback for my first idea napkin, but, based on a personal synopsis, I'd say the whole shebang of my first napkin was less confident and more chaotic. I believe I painted a better picture on my second napkin as I had a better understanding of my idea.

  1. Hey Dimitrios,
    I'll start out with some hopefully constructive ideas. On the "Core Competencies" section, I would have maybe gone into a little more about your proficiency in DJing, maybe include some... gigs? you've DJed at. It's smart to include that you relate to the customer, but I think you should also show that you're knowledgeable and at least a little successful in the area.
    I like your self critique of your first napkin, and it's good that you're feeling more organized and confident in this one. I can honestly say that you are coming across as very organized and confident, and I hope this opportunity works out for you!

  2. Hey Dimitrios,
    I enjoy reading about you and your aspirations! I believe you have the perfect combination of skill and background to become successful with your start up. It was also great to see the improvement you have made from your first idea napkin assignment even without any feedback. Best of luck!
