29 Venture Concept

The marijuana business throughout America, is beginning to take off, as more and more individuals have are catching on to the deregulation that many states are now providing its citizens. The issue remains that many banking and lending institutions will not provide many dispensary with a line of credit or even allow these dispensaries or individual sellers to deposit money. What I propose is an online banking system that utilizes cryptocurrencies and cyrptobanking that swaps this cash for crypto, thus allowing marijuana dispensaries and other marijuana manufacturers to deposit their money. This will bridge the divide for many marijuana dispensaries and open up a new mode of banking.Many Marijuana Dispensaries no longer have a means of depositing their revenue into a reliable bank or even getting a line of credit due to the stigma surrounding the drug that they sell. If I open up a crytpobank allowing Dispensaries to deposit their saving in the form of cryptocurrencies and exchange goods and credit online, which can then be relegated into cash via Bitcoin many dispensaries will be able to have a means of safely guarding their cash while diversifying their revenue through investments and credit. relevant to the sociopolitical landscape of our nation; many people rely on marijuana for a variety of things, so coming up with an opportunity that facilitates the transitioning of marijuana into the mainstream is ingenious. Your solution to this problem is also quite original; I personally would have never been able to connect the cryptocurrency and marijuana industries the way you have, so you really are sitting on something great. I wish you wrote more about what you discussed because what you had was so great.
Innovation
Investment Banker, works for Hedge Fund, although investment is a primary concern for many with dispensaries and for bankers seeking to invest that money many do not have an issue taking dispensary money as it will eventually be diversified and hardly calls for a new mode of banking especially those dealing with cryptobanks. The boundaries of the need however, are that some hedge funds need to use cryptocurrencies in order to expand their financial profiles which would bring many dispensaries that cannot use banks to their financial sectors, two main forms of savings exists those which are kept in banks and the other which is invested many hedge funds, although risky, are willing to take money from large groups of sectors and diversify it. Independent Seller of Marijuana After my interview the owner of did tell me that most people within his line of work would love to have a system for depositing they're revenue and also investing it without the hassle of economic regulation.Law Enforcement Officer, how would an online banking system operate for law enforcement, surprisingly this idea was suggested originally by members of law enforcement,
Whatby having an online banking system built through block-chain for dispensaries and independent sellers, law enforcement could keep track of who what and where these froms of marijuana are being sold and which is legal and which is illegal.

Secret Sauce

Social Circles and Capitals and Unfair advantage

This person is filing the domain expert of my industry , as someone who is an oncologist and prescribes and treats cancer patients with various Marijuana Treatments she is in a prime position to explain and shed light as to how these treatments are given, who is allowed to give them, how much is purchased and their relative costs. This individual is more of a technical expert who knows a great deal of information that I myself would like to know. This person is my familial relative, Aunt, who explained how the system operates. By having this person throughout my personal capital this allows me to better understand the industry and also notice potential customer needs and individuals to exploit.

3. Bitcoin Investment John Greer, Coinbase Investment

This particle person fulfills the expert throughout my market, but more specifically offers a service very similar to the one I seek to venture into. Mr. Greer is a day trader for crypto-currencies and invests in various online banking institutions. He is also a family friend whom I contacted and tried to get a better understanding of how individuals could convert money into online currency and where these transactions would be taking place and the rules and regulations defining them. The idea is if I bring this individual clients then he can convert the money into an easier mode for investments and he will provide my clients with investment opportunities.

The major changes I made throughout my Venture Concept was the modification of my unfair advantage as well as how this would implement my business, specifically just how my business would be able to best the competition, each individual brings a new element to my venture, my previous critics showed me that I needed to connect just how my business would compete with others and what exactly my advantage would be in my business. They states I should change how I utilize my network, instead of just showing what my business is I show how it operates how I would employ those resources to best get peak advantage. 

 

30A Final Reflection

My low points and high points were both necessary for me to understand just how the entrepreneur mind works most of the formative experience,  was the development of my business strategy, as supposed to following my passion. Often times passion is separate what is actually tangible for a business to develop. My most joyous experience was having the opportunity to Read from the Reading list because it allowed me to understand the development of how other entrepreneurs found success, it allowed me to learn from the mistakes of others and my proudest moment was when I could officially see what exactly my business would look like and how I would develop it. As the class ends I have a much better grasp of how an entrepreneur thinks, what is necessary to succeed, and I believe I am an entrepreneur even if I have not started my business yet. My recommendation for many students would be to ensure that they try to finish their assignments on time, always foster a mindset of urgency regarding your work, what you can do today should not be able to wait to tomorrow, always seek to maximize your productivity. 

Free Money

My initial thoughts on this assignment were one of bliss, I thought it would be easy. I decided to go to Southwest Rec, Public on archer road, and Turlington Plaza with the hopes of running into the most people. My pitch was centered around the idea that I would give away money because it was self-improvement month at the UF college of liberal arts and sciences and we were hoping to change people's day by giving them some money. I would approach people who were waiting for the bus and those who were flyerin at turlington and public. Out of 5 attempts I thought i would be able to get at least 3 dollars away. It took me nearly 5 attempts to successfully get two dollars away. This assignment taught me a great deal about first impressions, particularly when you want to sell something to someone, it is alot easier to do this with more than one person, initially I did it by myself and it provide an odd conversation starter, but when I did it with someone else the conversation went much smoother, i approached people as they were actually in the middle of a soccer match and even at the workout stations, these people were actually more open and receptive to the idea. Giving away the dollar was harder than i imagined in the first few areas such as turlingotn and public because people seemed less aware of there surroundings and also less giving of their time, but southwest recreational was a much better location because it seemed as if people were a little bit more understanding. I assumed that people would be less interested at sw rec because of excersize, but rather they were more open and even had a little bit more fun with the idea of winning a free dollar.
