My “ElectaHoop” Venture
Today my group (Chandler Horwat, Drew Jacovsky, Molly Frabotta, Ashton Cole, & Sebastian Lowery) and I gave our final presentation. After a lot of brainstorming, a little research forced us to make a huge pivot. That pivot led us towards the ElectaHoop, a basketball goal with unique functionality. We completed thorough market validation and feasibility analysis and came to the conclusion that the ElectaHoop is a product with demand and purpose. From that point on, creating and delivering the presentation was easy. We crafted a detailed PowerPoint and expanded on it for our classmates. This process was enjoyable, engaging, and educational, while also providing me with a true glimpse of what it means to be an entrepreneur in today’s crowded market. I’m excited to take the lessons I learned from this project with me in my future business endeavors.
