11A. Idea Napkin

1. I am Chaton Croft of Eyes in the Skies. My talents are bringing people together, forming ideas and striving for achievements. My skills are in communication, sales and management. I have experience in retail from selling parts to bank accounts. I have developed communication and management skills from my time in college. I have many aspirations, but specifically for the business is to start from a small elite team to an empire of a firm stretching nationwide and possibly global. I could see this business as a beginning of much more to come for me. Something I could use to potentially start other businesses or spin offs of.

2. I plan to offer a wide variety of  services for customers. From watching national forests, capturing photos of criminals or criminal activity, to observing landscapes and reporting.

3. The idea is to start with government entities whether it be federal, state  or local governments and then branching on to more private businesses. Clients would have an initial need for security monitoring, land and forest photoing, surveys, as well as many otners. They all have the need for large amounts of land to have Arial views without the need  or use of costly plane and helicopter flights.

4. This is a much more cost and time efficient method, instead of using lots of Labor and Manpower the drones can cover much more ground in a timelier and more efficient manner.  the savings alone would be worth the services to them.

5. Since I work for a bank I already possessed techniques of selling from experience as well as knowledge of business startups and financing. I also have many connections to get me started such as politicians, Sheriff's, Forest rangers and businesses.

I believe these elements would fit well together to start this business. The ability of me to communicate and manage helps both my employees and clients to understand what needs to be accomplished. My experience in sales and connections gives me an edge in the startup in the business for people willing to use this service. The variety of services allows me to expand the business from government/ law enforcement to more public users. The efficiency of the service makes customer appeal higher for my services and  my banking experience with business accounts will help keep me from any personal lawsuits as well as protecting the company.

    Sounds like you are in a solid position to move forward with this idea. Connections are always helpful and the service sounds like its 10x better than anything else being offered in the market today. Starting with government entities is a great idea, bringing it down to a local level would be a good way to test the viability of the business and also allow the government to gain trust in the business before signing huge national contracts.

15A Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No.2

1. For my three people I chose Brett Gill a game warden with FWC, Carl Beiling a farmer with lots of pasture field, and UCSO Officer John Riggs. 2. In Mr. Gill's case what matters most for him is quality, he needs something to take photos/videos in harsh environments well enough to prove a crime is being committed as well as proper evidence for a conviction. For Mr. Beiling his main concern is the price, because he is elderly and the price of cattle fluctuates therefore he prefers to keep his costs low. Officer Riggs actually has two factors in his customer segment both price and quality. Obviously he needs good quality similar to Mr. Gill for recon and catching criminal activity but his second driving force is price this is because it is a small county that has a limited budget that they need to maintain and be mindful of when making these decisions. 3. If Gill were to be looking for the product himself he said it would be more likely of him to buy online. Mr. Gill's equip

29A Venture Concept

Opportunity The opportunity I chose is drone surveillance. Drone surveillance can be used to survey land, keep watch over farms when owners are not available, and assuring businesses that their companies are safe by monitoring the building to watch for any criminal activity. I feel that those who have the need most are business owners, farmers and police but the opportunity is not limited to only these. The nature of the need is security, due to the high number of crime rates and the large amount of land owned by most farmers the opportunity was created. I would say that customers are satisfying this need already by having security systems installed in their homes, businesses, and farms. However unlike most security systems today the drone surveillance is not limited in movement like other cameras, they are able capture an aerial view. Limited movement can hinder the solving of a crime, with drone surveillance more ground is able to be covered. I believe the opportunity is fairl

8A Solving the Problem

1        My selected problem would be limited resources available like cameras with limited movement to monitor an area. 2      I would fix this problem by creating drone surveillance. First I would build a more advanced drone than the typical recreational drone, this would require some engineering to make the drones more damage resistant and stable during flight. Then I would equip the drones with high quality high definition cameras with night vision technology for night surveillance, along with the ability to zoom in and zoom out while taking photos. This would give the opportunity to identify crimes, license plates, and suspects. From here I could sell the drones to certified government agencies, as for the private customers or agencies not willing to but the surveillance drones, I could fix the problem by contracting team of highly skilled professionals with a lot of flying and drone using skills as a service to survey for them and use the drones instead of their own man pow
