11A – Idea Napkin No. 1

My name is Natalie Belluccia and I am a sophomore here at the University of Florida. My talents include organization, writing and 3D printing. My past experiences include selling 3D printed phone cases in high school and I also worked the books in my moms business, I did things like quickbooks, pay the bills and cash out checks. My aspirations are to allow  gainesville to have an easier option for parking. I think that this business would play a great roll in my life.
I believe that if I am able to build a parking garage on campus that allows students to park year round for a cheap price it would greatly benefit a lot of students. This will solve customes unmet needs because many students struggle with finding parking spots around campus and spend a lot of time driving around looking for parking that just isn't there.
My customers all live in Gainesville and I am offering this product to all of the students of University of Florida. As a student myself I know how difficult it is to find parking around campus. After taking many surveys and discussing this issue with my peers Ive concluded that they all have a hard time finding parking. Therefore students need a cheap and easy assessable parking garage to store their cars.
My product  is different from the rest because there are limited parking garages on campus. My product is going be large enough to accommodate up to 600 cars and for a very cheap price of only $200. There are parking garages downtown where you can leave your car for the year but they are very expensive. My product is overall cheaper, bigger and more convenient for many students.

I believe these concepts fit together because there is limited parking around campus and many students share the need to park their car on campus.   I am not sure how I am going to come up with all this money  to build this massive building.

    Natalie,
    I agree that there needs to be optimal parking locations for all students and residents for the UF campus. If each person needs to pay $200 dollars for a full year, what is the required estimate for the time it will take to clear all debt from the construction and maintenance. Overall I think that this is a well designed plan to aid students parking on the UF campus.

    Hey Natalie,

    I'm going off of what Marshall said. I love the concept of better priced parking for multiple college students, but am also wondering how long it will take to pay off the expenses of building and maintaining the structure. I was also wondering what exactly the students are paying for: the parking space itself, or a decal? I feel that decals would be more beneficial so that every space is being used at once. If a student pays for the space but doesn't use it all the time, another student can pay to use it- which is potentially $400 for one parking slot! Thank you for sharing your idea and I would love to see this concept applied in the future!

Your Entrepreneurship Story Hii my name is Natalie Belluccia and I am interested in entreperneurship I think that I have the creativity and motivation to have what it takes to be sucesssful. Im excited to see what this class has to offer and teach me. The one time of my life that stood out to me the most was when I was in high school and just started to get into 3D printing and robotics.  This experience was unique considering I built my own  3D printer from scratch with the help of my brother. After I had a intact printer I started testing things and playing around and I came up with the idea that I could sell the gadgets I printed. So I proposed this idea to the principle of my high school that during my lunch break I would sell 3D printed custom designed phone cases. People in my high school loved it and I was selling them like crazy! I enrolled in this class because I think that I have a future in entruepershup. I've always had the motivation and drive to pursue my...

13A – Reading Reflection No. 1

“Elon Musk” by Ashlee Vance What surprised me the most was the fact that he was that intelligent to create such a helpful product, he knew what the future needed in order to maintain a sufficient lifestyle.  His vivid imagination and extreme commitment allowed his dreams to come to life. I admire the fact that Musk was extremely committed to his ideas and made his dreams come to life. From an early age, even as a student Musk knew that he wanted to solve humanity's dependence on oil and create a safer environment for the future. He never gave up with dream and was committed to go broke while trying. He faced many dilemmas and problems that slowed him down but in the end he kept pushing forward which allowed him to be as successful he is today helping our environment and the future. I least admire that he was a big talker and promised things before he can make them happen. He would make promises and then takes years to come up with a solution. I think that a part of succe...
