  Giving my elevator pitch for everything beauty was a new experience for me. I was a little nervous at first because I wanted to make sure I got my main points across clearly and didn’t talk too fast. The pitch was about a beauty business that offers everything in one place — lashes, nails, waxing, and more — to make things easy and convenient for clients. My focus was mainly on the financial side of the business. I talked about how the salon would bring in money, how much the startup costs might be, and how offering multiple services could help increase profit. I mentioned how clients would likely spend more if they could get everything done in one visit, instead of going to different places. I also explained how this setup would save money in the long run, like using one location and staff for several services. It was a little tricky to explain everything in just a short amount of time, but practicing helped. I had to think about what the most important details were and how ...

 Listening to Matt’s presentation was interesting and motivating. Matt has dealt into multiple companies such as tempo and Nomatad, which are both really interesting companies. I enjoyed hearing about tempo and how Matt had to reverse engineer fans in order to bring this company to life. I think this is an interesting step taken by Matt as many other business owners would probably turn around and except loss. Matt was quite inspirational in the mini business ventures he has taken. I enjoyed hearing about his experience with the military and how he has diligently worked alongside them in different aspects creating different Products and devices in order to aid them. Temple was quite interesting as I have had some interested in holographic signage and hearing that Matt created a company that would allow him to make income from creating these holographic signs that he reverse engineered was quite interesting. Listening to Matt’s presentation was inspiring as we were able to see a prof...

 Brian for the presentation was an interesting watch. Learning about what it takes to run a company was a good way to get going on our own business plans. Brian is the CEO of site crafting which is a web design and development company. It was really cool to hear that they work with such big companies like multi care. I think this was a very important presentation as we got to see first hand how a CEO can run a company. Brian forth broke down some aspects of running a company such as how team meetings work and how employees are slowly coming back to in person work. I think this is important to hear because when we run our own companies one day, we would need to know how to manage a team and work with other employees. We also got to hear about the harder times when money is an issue and how they had to downsize a couple times due to lack of funds. I think Brian had a great way of explaining his company and really dog deep into the culture of his company and how he created it. He went...

I think John Dimmer’s presentation was really informative and interesting to listen to. I think the parts about the legal side of things and how to decide which type of company to start. I enjoyed learning about the difference between a c corporation and a LLC. Then we learned about how to raise money to start our businesses. Things such as crowd funding and raising money from family and friends were the first steps to raising money. We also learned about the different phases of funding. First there is the concept which is normally before the product or service. Then it’s the start up which is the phase of concept to release. Then its expansion so things such as opening another location or expanding current operations. Then there’s the mezzanine which is preparing for an IPO. Lastly, there is the exit which the company is preparing for sale. Some specific types of funding we learned about was debt, equity, hybrid and other forms. Debt is funding from banks or investors, money that need...
