Business Idea Competition Presentation November 2013
In addition to consulting entrepreneurs about their visual presentation and presentation outline, Zach also uses his suggestions in his own work. In 2013, Zach entered the Business Idea Competition, which gives student entrepreneurs the chance to win money for their ideas. The competition also provides an opportunity to develop skills related to brainstorming, idea qualification, timed presenting, and networking. Previous to entering, Zach helped to run the competition the year before. He entered into it to gain a different perspective on the competition. Zach's idea, Drain Flower, came to him after his apartment’s kitchen sink became clogged from lack of a routine drain catcher cleaning. Drain Flower is the clean hands drain cleaner that features an attachment to drain catchers to make cleanup quick, easy, and effective. Zach presented his idea to a panel of judges within a strict four-minute time limit and answered the judges’ questions afterwards. He crafted a visual presentation that complemented and supported his verbal presentation. Zach won first place for his presentation and was awarded $1,000. |
