Joseph L. Llacuna

Thank you for everything Sir and Godbless.

  After we pitch, Sir Mabulay have concerns to our problem and solution because we cannot narrow down our problem and solution. Sir Mabulay already know in the time we pitch that we are not done conducting our survey because we don’t know what our main problem is. And according to him, is that really your problem? Among those three problem, what is your main problem? Sir Mabulay told us that you don’t decide yet what is truly your problem unless you are done conducting your survey. That is why, Sir Mabulay given us an assignment that in the next week we meet that we already decided what is really our main problem and done conducting our survey. After the pitching, Sir wanted us to have a make-up class the day after this day to have a short discussion how to improve our startup.

On this our past lesson Sir Mabulay discussed some pointers to have a better pitching for us and he also discussed the lacking important details in our pitch deck.He also taught us everything about the failure-savy Leadership rules and also the failure value cycle. There are three failure rules, the first one is the best failure is to learn from somebody else. The second one is to learn from simulated reality, games , or analysis.  The last one is learn by doing, test first and prepare to be wrong.  This rules simply means that don’t be afraid to make a mistakes because our failures makes us all stronger, learn by it so that the next try you make would be succeed. And also, there are failure value cycle that you need to remember; recognize that failure is inevitable, rehearse for failure, recognize failure early, react with efficiency and responsibility, reflect with the failure, rebound, and lastly is remember the failure for you to don’t do it again. This topic taught us to be prepared for maybe in the mere future we may face a lot of failures and also how to fight that failures or stand back. After the discussion, given us a group assignment which is to describe our ventures in two sentences and pitch it for the next meeting.

We finished surveyed or interviewed our customer and user so come up on making our pitch deck once and for all. We data was gathered perfectly and we write it on a scratch paper because at the time we interviewed our customer and user we don’t event bring something to write down on to gather the data we even borrow ballpen on the interviewee. We do make some critical thinking to make a better pitch deck. While the boss and the designer is making the pitch deck the hussler and the programmer is practicing their english vocabulary for the coming pitch presentation for our final exam.

Then for our customer we interviewed a some ambulance driver the first hospital that we visit is the Sabal Hospital but as we interview the ambulance driver on that hospital he kept on insisting that they don’t have any problem about navigating where is the best route for the certain accident and where is the location of that certain accident. So we better find another hospital to interview. As we interview some private and public hospitals they do have some problem about navigating in some roads in Cagayan de Oro that is not been seen in google maps and for some hospitals the best route for the certain accident because they keep on searching where is the exact street on that accident.    

Lean canvass composed of nine categories, namely:  The problem, this one of the most important part of having a startup where you need to find a problem which we are facing nowadays. Sir  said that problem is that something that you need think first before having a solution. Sometimes we are able to find a solution first before having a problem because it is easy for us to have a solution rather than having a problem without knowing what are the solution we should take. Second is the customer segment, are the one who needs your product the most or your target users. The third one is the unique value proposition where you need to get the attention of your target users by first seeing your phrases. Next is the solution, is something that delivers your customer value and captures the heart of your target users. Next one is the channels, is how you make a move to make your customer loves your product. 

This value proposition making our mind scrambled for what we should make to get the hearts of our target users in first reading our motto. In the other categories it was easy compare to that one and thanks to our target users who will able to help us by conducting our survey. Well, by conducting our survey we gladly know what our customers really wants and also their concerns about our startup to make it improve or more applicable to use. As we pitch, Sir Mabulay has many concerns about what we present to him. The first one is the problem where we cannot exactly gives what we truly desire or in other words it doesn’t suited to what we truly meant. In the customer segment, Sir doesn’t have a problem with that because we already know our target users and also we know that our limitation in only in Cdeo. Next is the unique value proposition, Sir gave us a hint about this one because the one that we present to him has not connected to our startup or something that doesn’t have a taste to take our customers heart. Lastly is the solution, well in this one, Sir understand our solution but he has a question that what if the other people will read that, how they will understand because our solution is only for the people who like business not really understandable for the users. After the pitching, Sir wanted us to change the one that he wanted us to do and post it in group chat in the slack for him to read it again if we truly do what are the concerns about what we presented.

Weaknesses: Lazy, Bossy and Rude

After we solve the problem our instructor decided to agreed what project we have chosen and he ask what are the applications we used and the materials on how to make this project we are so intense when we pitch our project because we do lack on preparation in pitching our project because we of searching on how can we solve our problem on having Gps without internet connection.   As we do plan our start ups we may encounter problems but i believe that we will couquer to be a better technopreneur.

One of our study is on the the road.A road accident is commonly attributed to the collision of vehicles, pedestrian, or with an object that will result to death, disability and damage to property. Road accidents were caused by driver’s errors(26%), mechanical defect (12%), over speeding (18%), drinking spree before driving(1%) , damaged roads (5%). Daytime traffic accidents were found higher than in the night. The study focused on the occurrence of the traffic accidents from period 2001 to 2006 and events were evaluated using the factors that contribute into the accidents. In this case in our project in just one click in our smart phone the Police stations and the Hospitals will be notified that there is an accident in the near by.

Hi sir Good day , I am Joseph Llacuna. Technopreneurship, from the word itself is a technology entrepreneur, or say entrepreneur with technology, or in other words technological entrepreneur. Whatever you call it. It’s all about business ideas implemented and manifested with the use and help, out from the power of technology. My expectation to this subject is that I can learn more on business matters and be exposed on the technology world. As to my professor, my expectations are; after this course, from him I will learn how to be a good technopreneur, I will be helped to unleash my skills and get to know my abilities. How do I start this one? In my personal traits test I'm just an average. Therefore, I have an average potential of being an entrepreneur. In personal trait test I was able to know my self. How I deal with people when an instance happened. How I approach and respond to every person and situations along my way. Personal trait test is a good test as a start for a technopreneur. The hardest part is to know oneself. Sometimes we need others before we realize ourselves and see who we are. Different personlaties since we are peculiar people. We have our own way of dealing matters. As they said, "The very exciting part in life is discovering oneself." I've learned to understand myself. In personal traits test also in relation to technopreneurship is that you will be able to know if you have a potential in having business or being a technopreneur or not. Because entrepreneur deals with how you act and respond to different situations and different kinds of multitudes of people since we are meeting people or consumer in building up a business. And even how you handle your business base on your personality that matters. "Your business is your own not of others."
