W14: Final Pitching Experience

The final pitching session was nerve-wracking, especially since we were the first to present. As the panel began asking questions, it became clear that competing with other applications similar to ours is a tough challenge. We initially believed our app was unique, but the panel informed us that similar solutions are already in place.

This experience was eye-opening and humbling, teaching us valuable lessons about market competition and the importance of differentiation.

W11: Midterm Pitching Experience

During the pitching session, I was confused about why my team included the idea of selling houses. This misunderstanding arose because I wasn't aware that it had been added before the pitch began. My initial idea was to focus solely on renting, as selling houses would complicate matters by requiring a license. However, I suggested that we could partner with agents who could handle the legal aspects of selling houses. The panelists also pointed out that a license is necessary for selling houses. We are now looking forward to our next venture.

W4 - Value Proposition Canvas

During Week 4, our focus remained on engaging with landlords through interviews. We reached out to a diverse array of landlords, gaining insights into their experiences. Among them, we encountered landlords who attributed their higher tenant numbers to advantageous locations, while others lamented lower occupancy rates due to less favorable locales. Additionally, we observed a prevalent reliance on outdated methods among certain landlords. These methods not only consumed excessive time but also posed challenges in effective customer communication. Our solution endeavors to address these identified pain points and enhance the landlord experience.

WEEK 2 BLOG- Problem Exploration and Team Formation

Establishing a team is a highly challenging endeavor, necessitating careful consideration of individuals who can be trusted to fulfill their designated roles. A team, comprised of individuals unified by a common objective, may be assembled for various purposes, including project completion, problem-solving, or addressing specific issues. Notably, Team CLPQ derives its name from our shared last name, serving as a partial group identifier.

Our strategic planning involves a thoughtful discussion to designate roles such as hacker, hound, hipster, and hustler. In this context, Jay assumes the role of hacker due to his adept programming skills, while I take on the responsibilities of a hound, leveraging my confidence, responsibility, and proficiency in observing and interviewing multiple users to identify patterns and areas of innovation for the team.

Furthermore, Jam, renowned for his creative prowess in our college department, is appointed as our hipster. With expertise in marketing, brand identity, user experience, and product aesthetics, Jam is well-suited for the role. It is worth noting that, in many early-stage start-ups, the hipster often serves as the copywriter.

Lastly, our team's hustler is Kiar, a visionary with a keen sense of the company's direction and the ability to unite and inspire the team. In the formal structure of our team, Kiar plays a crucial role in guiding our collective efforts towards success. Following the identification of team roles, our team presented five solutions corresponding to the initially presented five problems. The data collection process involved conducting interviews, thoroughly analyzing responses, and systematically recording the perspectives shared by the interviewees.
