Reflect on Jonathan Bremer’s presentation about Komodo Boat covers?
- I thought it was very cool to see someone branch off their career path to pursue their own venture. He is a very talented entrepreneur and it takes a lot of courage to give up your current job to pursue something with no guarantees.
Think back to Jonathan’s thoughts about the difference between a small business owner.
- Small business owners have a lot more to manage. The weight of the business is typically on 1 to 2 people, high risk and high stress.
As you may have noticed, the Value Proposition Canvas (VPC) is a very important piece in distilling interview data into something digestible and clear.
- The VPC is very helpful for me, it allows me to pin point exactly what I am offering and what my job is. Allows you to focus on what is most important in your venture. I do think after sometime the VPC does not serve a big purpose. Mostly used while brainstorming about a venture or trying to narrow down an idea.
Hey John! It was good to see you back in class today! I also found it really cool how Jonathon left his career at Tesla to pursue Komodo boat covers. Super inspiring. Interesting thoughts on the VPC! How do you think you could create VPC’s that continually had a bigger purpose?
Hey John,
I’m glad you thought the presentation was cool, I can definitely agree with you on that. I feel like it is really interesting to gain insight into someone else’s entrepreneurship journey. I also really agree with you on the VPCs. I think they are very useful but absolutely most useful during brainstorming. I hope all is going well/continues to go well for you this quarter!
Hi John!
I really enjoyed hearing from Jonathan too. It is cool to see how he was able to leave a job that wasn’t making him happy to pursue something he is more passionate about. I agree that the VPC is super helpful in the brainstorming process. It always helps me to be able to collect all my ideas and put them in one place.
