Elevator Pitch No. 1


While many people use these forms of transportation, especially on college campuses, there is a problem with them. Many times people unknowingly use these services so frequently that at the end of the month their credit card bill is insane. This is something that affects us all. We need a new way to provide cab rides from one place to another at a cost that is affordable for all.  My solution to this problem is to create a monthly or yearly subscription service to these modes of transportation. This would allow for the company, Matt's Cab Package, to collect a prepayment for a certain time period and in exchange offer the buyer access to the transportation free of charge as part of the service. This could allow discounts to happen because of bulk time period purchases that would save the buyer money as well as help the company collect payment ahead of time.

  1. Hey Mathew! I think you did a really good job of your delivery. You explained your idea really well and spoke clearly. I think your idea was really interesting and I think it would work only if their is a high enough of a demand for it. In a highly populated town like Gainesville I believe there is an opportunity for this to work. Also I think you would enjoy my pitch! http://cambent.blogspot.com/2016/02/elevator-pitch-no1.html

  2. Hey Matthew,

    This is a good idea for people who rely heavily on public transportation. It can really help your business out to if you think about it, because people could either underuse or overuse the service, which could balance out profits. Also, if people get upset at the idea of paying for a subscription you could offer it as an alternative to paying per use.

    Awesome job! Check out my blog at: alexanderdavidknight.blogspot.com
