29A – Venture Concept No. 2

29A – Venture Concept No. 2

My parking app
Fuelled by belief and energy, AppyParking aims to revolutionise ...

1. The opportunity that  found was when I identified there was a parking problem in my University. This then led me to develop an app that will help anyone in the given area find a parking spot. 

The main force that helped me come up with this idea is that I go to a college that has little to no parking for all people who use the university. 

My main target is still college campuses. I chose these places because I can relate very well also I need to target places that have a large amount of traffic coming in and out of places. They have a lot of visitors that are unfamiliar with the location.

This solves the issue of the lack of clarity of places to park. It puts more help along with understand in parking spots.

2. The focus for this is to have anyone with any type of smart device to be able to use it. This includes IOS and Android for the most part. This will be a big help to have it for both devices, high compatibly, will be good for marketing. I also plan on having it more compatible with more smart device:glasses, watches, headphones. The main thing to start with is the GPS feature. This is the foundation of the app. I will then code with my team the other elements of the app such as the times and spots of parking. This will help on were to park and what time it needs to be left at. There will be notifications sent saying that their timer is going to run out. I need to also add the real time feature so that I can avoid people fighting for certain spots. I will do this by applying sensors in or above the particular spots. I need to do this so the app doesn't have people going to certain spots and fighting over them. 

3.The venture concept:
The aspect I need to focus on is the real time updating part. This will be a live feed that people will see if it is available or not, I will put another status for if it is chosen and someone is going to park in it. This will be a [art that it kind of saves the spot and you can get to it. There will also be signs when arriving into campus and it will advertise the app and the purpose for it on campus. This will help the users who are coming in and out and it will avoid them getting a ticket or a tow. In my University parking is taking serious and that is how Gainesville makes its money. People need to know where to park and how long they can park in a certain area. Hw my app will show off, is that it will have real time features. People will be able to go to a certain spot and reserve ti and have updates with notifications on the duration they can park there.

The main resource I got is that I am a third year college student at the University of Florida and I have lived here for three years. I can add my value by adding the knowledge I have gained ver the course of three years and add it to the parking app. I see myself in the company starting it and owning it. I will have people help me make it and I will help make it grow.

Part 3
I really like the feedback I got from people I learned that I need to add not much to my app. People really like it and they would really like to use it. I also learned that I changed and added to this, the fact that this is super helpful for game days. These a days are some of the most busiest. They have a lot fo foreign known people coming in and my app can help them a lot with the parking aspect.

    Hi Thomas,
    I enjoyed reading your second venture concept. I think the revisions you made really strengthened your post. I can agree that on campus it is the most brutal to try and find parking during game days. My family has experienced this the hard way with taking over an hour to find a parking spot. I think your app would be super helpful because people that are not familiar with the campus have no idea where to look for a place to park.

26A – Celebrating Failure

26A – Celebrating Failure 1.  Tell us about a time this past semester that you failed -- whether in this class, or outside of this class. Don't spare any details! It'd be even better if there was something you tried several times this semester, and failed each time. A time I failed was when I took my first accounting exam. It was very hard and I was not prepared for it. I thought I was prepared but I was wrong. 2.  Tell us what you learned from it.    I learned that I was not prepared. I needed to be prepared for my next one. I got study people and they taught me how to get ready for the exam. It was very difficult and I did well. 3.  3) Reflect, in general, on what you think about failure. Failure is hard, isn't it? It's embarrassing, sure, but it also means that we have to change something about ourselves. Talk about how you handle failure (emotionally, behaviorally). Finally, talk about how this class has changed your perspective on failure -- ...

24A – Venture Concept No. 1 My parking app 1. The opportunity that I took advantage of is the problem with finding parking in laces that have a high demand in parking. These are places that have a lot of traffic of vehicles coming in and out of an area. Some of the forces that helped me come up with this idea is that I go to a school that has little to no parking. This is a great app that I came up with because it will help identify parking spots and it will save time. It is something that people hate and get irritated about. The main target at the moment for me are college campuses. This is essential because it helps people who go to the college and people who are just visiting. This also goes along with workers as well, along with students. I really liked to add the aspect of football game-days. This will really help. This solves the problem of spending a lot fo timing finding a place to park. This is something that is serious and annoying to people. 2.  The innovat...

2A – Bug List

2A – Bug List I hate going to the gym and the gym is dirty, as in the weights are not re racked. Some people are just very lazy and think that someone else will do it for them. Going to cook a meal and the dishes that I need to use are dirty in the sink.  I usually use some dishes that I can use for dinner for lunch. When dinner comes along I have to do the dishes before I can cook and this hinders me.  My roommate does not do his dishes He is lazy ans cooks very little compared to me, he claims he will do it later but later is way too long for me and I need the sink space.  Streaming the soccer game and getting it in another language. Some soccer games are in another country and English is not always provided.  Going to scoot and the scooter won't turn on, I have to kick start it.  When is sits at an angle the scoot's gas rumples around. This makes me have to kick start it to move the gas into the right place.  Having to have to d...
