    Hi Marcus,
    I liked that you started off with a statistic about the market of the product you are introducing. This show potential investors that there is money to be made which is always good. I also think you did a great job explaining the problem, the current options available and why they need improvement. Your explanation of the product was short and to the point without any technological jargon which would have probably confused me. Great job!

    Hey Marcus,

    I liked your approach to your whole pitch, in that you hook us in with the statistics regarding people using razors. In doing so you are identifying the problem, and foreshadowing how you are going to approach it. I actually find the mechanism very interesting in that you put your blade in there after every time you shave, and I think that would be very efficient.

    Great job with your elevator pitch Marcus. Using the statistic is a great attention grabber for your pitch and I was engaged the entire way through. You framed the problem with current razors well and conveyed why your product is an effective solution in a way that was easy to understand. I could see many people using this product if it was available.

    Hey Marcus,

    I really enjoyed your post on razors and their issue of becoming dull. I also enjoyed the way you pitched it as it was pretty appealing to me. I was interested in the idea of the razor sharpener as it could be of use to anyone who shaves. I would personally find it extremely useful to be able to fix a dull blade especially when it's my only razor blade.

    Hey Marcus!

    I really liked your pitch! I, myself, fully struggle with having a dull razor all the time. I think you definitely do a good job in finding an unmet need and targeting your audience. The statistics in the beginning make it much more believable and professional as well.

    Hi Marcus, great elevator pitch! I thought you introducing your pitch with a statistic was both unique and a great approach to a hook. It is not your typical loud attention-getter, but it speaks volumes about your opportunity in a different way. I think you did a fantastic job of showing the need for your product and proposing an effective solution.

Part I Opportunity: The opportunity I noticed was that I was tired of having to constantly use dull razors to shave, or be forced to go out and spend time and money buying new ones. My facial hair grows out fast and I like to stay relatively clean shaven, so repeatedly buying new razors is not really an option when you shave as much, and have as little money as I do. People who find themselves shaving often, and don’t have the time and money to buy new razors all the time are the people who would be in need of a product to solve their problem. Furthermore, there are many demographics and/or geographic who may be affected by this issue, because people of all ages and genders who have the need to shave could use a product that solves the problem. Shaving and more broadly personal care is a huge industry and having a product that solves the problem of razors becoming dull too quickly seems to be a big opportunity that could last for a long time. Innovation: The product that I came up with...

Halfway Reflection

Marcus Manzoni ENT3003 February 25, 2020 Halfway Reflection 1.To keep up with this course, my best strategy has been doing the assignments at the very beginning of the week. The assignments are mostly easy but they are definitely tedious and can be time consuming depending on the requirements, so I prefer doing them on a Monday or Tuesday just so they aren’t hanging over my head the rest of the week. 2.I have never really wanted to “give up” per se, but I have had times where I was frustrated with the class. The first was when for one of the earlier assignments I forgot to declare the comments I made for the post, which is a process I never had to do before and I was not accustomed to doing so. Even though I did the work, because I didn’t declare I lost points and that is frustrating. The second thing that has tested my compliance has been the assignments that require interviews. I do not enjoy these assignments because they can be a lot of work and I don’t like conducting...
