#12thweek

´ ▽ ` )ﾉ  Haroo! Kuroshioo desu!

Heyaa humans! we had our presentation last meeting, it turned out well somehow. To think that we have lots of things to do, I’m quite amaze that we were able to finish the current tasks. Well, Im goin’ to share now some updates regarding our startup!..

During the class, we presented our costumer channels and relationships that tackles about the channel economics and costumer acquisition cost which we based on the information we gathered from interviews. Here we stated the calculations and methods we used to balance the “Costumer Archetypes” which are Getting, Keep and Grow. So, we will GET costumers through advertisements, KEEP them through discount vouchers and promos and finally GROW through referrals from friends and relatives.

As we ended our presentation, our professor shared to us the current state of our big rival the STREETBy that they already accepted the laundry station who offered them for partnership and now implementing a system for it. It’s kinda shocking for me since they said last time that they might not take it but they grabbed it instead but can’t help it since they are not sure bout that at first. So we are now given a new task to think of something that they don’t have, which could be our strength in this startup project…

Well, as you can see it’s kinda challenging to think about it right?? Like, you are goin to rival such well knowned company. Still, there’s nothing to lose in trying things out. This is a big step for  us but has a high chance of failure, we risk take risk in order to grow not knowing what will happen next.

This is the 12th week of my technopreneurship journey. For our meeting, our instructor gave us an assignment which is the empathy map and also this week we were tasked to have our weekly progress report.

Last Sunday, me and my team met at school to finalize the things we will present in our progress report for the next day. I was the one assigned to make the wire frame and the others were assigned to make the user’s journey and empathy map.

On Monday, we were told to wait until 4pm because our instructor still has a class and also my EE members has a class until 4:30 same as to my ME member I don’t have class for half day that’s why I waited for them until 4:30. I was not done yet for the wireframe because I don’t know what’s next that’s why I waited for them to ask for their suggestions. When they came they were the one who finish doing the wireframe and I am thankful because they are willing to do it.

When it’s our turn, we made a deal if who will be going to explain about the user’s journey which is the ME, for the wireframe which is me and for our updates from Ororama which is the EE’s. We open up about our Ororama journey and about to their suggestion. Our instructor told us if what is the early adopter wants we should do it. What I felt about it was pressure because of the time remaining but at the same time challenging because our instructor mentioned that the reason why they wanted us to make their suggestion because they want to test us if they can really  trust us that’s why I was challenged to prove to them that we can make it. So, for our user’s journey we were tasked to revise it and for the revision we should make the user use our wireframe so that she can really know what the function of our app is. We were also tasked for next week to pass our empathy map.

The first thing we do for this week is to continue to make our user journey by putting ourselves as a customer and we finalize it. I still continue to make our wireframe – the prototype for our website but I am not yet finished. The next thing happen is that we update and consult to our instructor. He asked about our update for Pete’s Patriots. I explained to him what happen during our visit to Pete’s Patriots (they are still waiting for the response from manila) and explained to him our next plan. Also, I explained to him our user journey.
