Exit Strategy

About The Strat

I don't think I would necessarily stay in this business for too long. But I wouldn't sell it either (I don't even know if I COULD sell this business). What I think I would do is stay until the market has caught on, and while it does, look for someone already working with us that has the drive and potential to lead the company forward.
I would make sure that whoever takes over me has ideals that either fit the company, or maybe don't fit it, but could be an improvement.


Why This Strat

The thing is, since I'm not into finances, or banking, I think staying here will limit me in a way. I'm a developer, and I don't want to be stuck developing banking or financing apps. I can start like that, but I also want to move on to bigger and better things. Besides, despite the fact that I hated moving before, I think it's made me someone who doesn't really try to settle in anywhere, and is instead always looking for opportunities to grow outside of the current environment.


Influence Of The Strat

I don't think it has influenced any aspect of the business. Maybe the acquisition and use of resources (finding someone who can take over the company), but definitely not the growth intentions I would have for the company, much less the identifying of the opportunity. Like I said, I'm not into finances or banking, I could've chosen something I was interested in, and develop a business from that and stay there for years. But I overlooked all of that because I found a problem, and I wanted to solve it, regardless of the field it was in. Not saying I wouldn't enjoy it, but it would be something I'm naturally drawn to.

Opportunity The opportunity I identified is the need for a more globalized form of mobile banking, a need that bank account owners have. Our primary target costumers would be up to the age of 35, and as low as 18. Initially, we would operate inside the U.S, but we would try to go global later on. Currently, customers don't have a specific alternative to satisfy this need, they simply use their current bank's stock mobile app. This opportunity will not last too long. With Apple releasing Apple Card sometime in August, which is supposed to rival banks in the credit card market, the entire banking market will be more likely to fluctuate, with Google or Samsung, two of Apple's biggest competitors, potentially attempting to make their own version of the service. Depending on how effective Apple Card is, the window can be open for a relatively short time. Innovation The idea I have is making an app that serves as a portal to all bank accounts, regardless of the bank

Makers: The New Industrial Revolution by Chris Anderson Theme The book is based around how entrepreneurship is changing. In the past, inventors could design prototypes, but only big companies were able to produce anything, requiring the inventor to give up some control and money. But nowadays, there are small-scale factories that will produce anything at a reduced number, and for a smaller cost. Also, the process of inventing something is changing from dealing with physical objects to dealing with bytes, memory management, and pixels. And because of the internet, people in similar fields can now get in touch and collaborate easily, and more often than in the past. Connection to ENT3003 It kind of gave me a reason to keep doing what I'm doing. What I mean is, ever since I was a kid, I've been switching back and forth between what I wanted to become. First it was firefighter, then it was doctor, then industrial engineer, never really having a personal reas

Final Reflection

The Good 🙂, The Bad 😕, & The Ugly 👹 The Good 🙂 For me, some of the good moments were when I made videos. Whether it was the Secret Sauce video, or any of the Elevator Pitches, it was always fun, which is also why I put everything I had into it. If you have watched them, you'll realize that, excluding the first one, I put some thought into how I edited the videos. I'm not saying the editing is good, but it's there: background music that fades in and out, custom thumbnail, custom end cards, even a little effect when I made the joke about Wells Fargo in the second pitch. Or in the secret sauce video, all the cuts from one person to the other, making it seem like real interviews, the special screens for the voice recordings (which by the way costed a fortune). That's what I do. I enjoy it, whether it is a lot of work or not. The Bad 😕 I don't think I've had many bad experiences, but if I must choose, I would say it was anytime we were assigned
