What I Expect

Before the first day, I didn't really know what this class would be about. I mean, I had signed up for it, but I admit that it was because I was told it was an easy upper-level class. This is my last quarter and I just wanted to take it easy. In any case, I got a good idea of what the class would be about during the first class session and I liked what I heard. It was cool to hear about some of your experiences as an entrepreneur and some of the lessons you learned when starting your own company. I think it was interesting to see how many CS students were taking this class, but I guess it makes sense given the whole culture of tech startups that is big in the Seattle area. I think it is fair for me to say that I didn't take this class because I wanted to start a business of my own, but it was something that I kept in the back of my mind coming in to this class. I guess the idea of being my own boss appealed to me. I remember thinking about a really close friend of mine who is an aspiring entrepreneur and how he would benefit from this course.

Going forward, I expect to learn more about the experiences of current and former entrepreneurs as we entertain guest speakers throughout the term.  I'm also interested in learning about the stages a business goes through and what the lifespan of a business might look like, from the beginning to the end.

Brian Forth

Our third guest speaker was Brian Forth, CEO of SiteCrafting. As the name suggests, SiteCrafting is a web design company that creates and designs websites for its clients. Mr. Forth's story is similar to the story about 'My Uncle's Alders' in that Mr. Forth kind of stumbled across his idea. He had someone ask him to create a website for him, and word got around. Eventually, Mr. Forth realized that he had a good thing going, and the result was SiteCrafting. There were a couple of things that stood out to me about Brian Forth and his company. First of all, his company does not have a sales department and has relied mostly on word-of-mouth. Second, the culture of Brian's company is unique. The office is just one big open area where all employees can easily access each other. Even Brian doesn't have his own office (in the conventional sense). I thought it was interesting when Brian talked about how some clients were let go. I wonder if sometimes a CEO or a company

John Dimmer Visit

Our fourth guest speaker was Mr. Fry's good friend John Dimmer. Mr. Dimmer's talk was probably the most beneficial talk with regards to our business plan as his talk revolved around finances and investing. He talked about how important it was to learn about these topics, at least on a basic level. One of the things that Mr. Dimmer brought up that I found very interesting was the discussion between going into business with friends/family vs. going into business with strangers. Mr. Dimmer's viewpoint was that going into business with friends & family was better than going into business with a stranger. I guess that makes sense, in most cases you know your family & friends better than strangers and you should go into business with someone you know well. On the flip side I can see the negatives with investing and going into business with friends and family. Another thing that stood out to me about Mr. Dimmer's talk was how he tried retirement after the sale of F

Pricing My Product

In writing this post, there were a lot of things I had to take into consideration. First and foremost, I had to decide if I wanted to go with my parking app idea, or if I wanted to pick one of the other two business ideas, or something else entirely. I couldn't really find anything else I was really interested in so I decided to go with my parking app idea. To review my idea, I wanted to create an application that would help students at universities/colleges find parking spots on and around campus. Now, thinking about how to price my product also required a lot of consideration. I looked into it and there are a lot of parking apps already available (various levels of quality) that are free. The way these applications generate revenue is by advertisements. The other option I considered was the option where the app would be free to use with limited features and would cost money to upgrade. Given that my target market would be students, I figure they wouldn't be so willing to pa
