The feedback I received was nice and encouraging. I wouldn’t say any of it was corrective or constructive though. Many of the comments like the setting of the pitch and thought it appropriate to the endeavor.
I am aware that the business is likely a nonprofit one rather than a for profit business idea.
No animals were harmed in the making of this video and nothing much was changed from the filing of the first pitch. Well, the name was.
It started out as Grant County Nature Center then morphed into Grant County Field Club. And now we’re toying with Grant County Naturalists’ Field Club. I also like Early Bird Nature Center.
Is it just me or is anyone else finding themselves doing several takes on this very, very simple assignment? I’m self-conscious with just a handful of students seeing this— I can’t imagine going in front of a panel asking for actual funding. Braves souls they be.
Hi Anthony,
ReplyDeleteA nonprofit business can easily be a big opportunity to pursue in this type of area of community outreach. A nature center could really provide a lot of value for the local community surrounding it. And I agree, getting venture capital can be a daunting task, simply having to pitch your idea in front of various different investors is difficult.
Within your pitch, you offered a little sample of what this business venture has to offer. Smart idea. Your genuine interest and earnestness is communicated clearly. I also did several takes- finally just chose one that came pretty close- I think the value of this exercise IS the exercise, not the final product.
ReplyDeleteHello Tony,
ReplyDeleteOnce again I believe the setting was a great choice. I also enjoyed how you laid out everything that could be covered on these trips in nature. I think it is clear that you have a passion for this and you can directly see this in your pitch. Overall I think you did a great job and I also liked the idea you put forth of classroom like lectures that would allow more knowledge to be gained.
