- You. For this business I plan to start in The Villages and grow to be available throughout the state of Florida. I have personally experienced people with this need and the unneeded stress and anxiety it puts on them.
- What are you offering to customers? I am offering my customers the idea of no more car payment, no more car maintenance stress, no more driving anxiety, and no more relying of other people to get you where you want to go.
- Who are you offering it to? I am offering this idea to The Villages citizens age 60 and older who can no longer drive themselves or do not like driving themselves but still have places to go and things to do.
- Why do they care? My customers care because if they cannot drive themselves and they have no one who can drive them then they are stuck at home. Or if they do not like driving they may let that limit them in the things they do. Studies have show that there are countless benefits of an active social life for older adults, and my business would make that possible.
- What are your core competencies? We are different from any other similar business because we cater to the older community. All of our drivers would be CPR certified and have some Emergency training as well as clear background checks and driving records so you know you are in safe hands with us. Also, for those who are medically unable to drive we may even be covered by their health insurance. We would also have hubs placed across the city, so that a customer could have a ride at there door minutes after calling.
Evaluation: I believe all of these elements fit together very well. Experts predict that, by the year 2030, the population of Floridians aged 65 and older will grow to 7.77 million. That large number of people would account for more than 37 percent of Florida’s current population. This means that the problem of older drivers on the road is only going to grow and their need to want to stay active is going to grow as well. Also,I am much more confident with the potential of this new idea than the idea that I was previously working on.
"Feedback Memo"
A couple of the points of feedback that I received is to consider how the funding of a project such as this would work and how I would get my employees CPR certified. When it comes to having employees with CPR certification, we would hire employees who are already certified or upon hiring employees would agree to take it upon themselves to get certified. For the business itself, the majority of the funds would come from the customers who use the service through membership fees/ pay per ride.
