Aqua Sonic
An app that will help startups and entrepreneurs understand and have some knowledge of the business world, recieve mentorship and understanding of their product.
I have seen that some startups incubator or accelerator programs have a certain fee that startups have to pay to join the program. I also joined some programs and had to pay a fee in order to secure a place in the programs and join. This has its advantage as you will learn a lot about business and some even give hands on assessments to do. But not everyone can afford to pay the fees. And some startup incubator only focus on a particularindustry, like technology. So it makes it difficult for some entrepreneurs to join and learn more about their business and understand things like their market and whether their idea is feasible or not. According to research, many startups fail due to being in the wrong market, a lack of research and not understanding their competitors. Sometimes it's wrong timing, your product could he way ahead of time and consumers are not ready for it. This is all due to lack of knowledge and understanding your product.
I know a few people who are entrepreneurs, people who are still trying to find their feet in the market but are finding it hard to do so because of lack of knowledge and motivation. There are millions of startups that are failing in their first few months or even weeks due to lack of knowledge of their business and understanding the competitive landscape and business environment. They lack an understanding of what it is to build an enterprise and what is needed of them. Some fail due to financial reasons, they don't have enough money to fund their ideas or businesses. This app will help such startups and entrepreneurs, who don't have enough money to join programs but are very much interested in under their business.
There are good ideas that just die still an idea, because of lack of knowledge. Because people are scared of risks, they are not told that every solutions was once a risk that had to be taken. This app will help entrepreneurs all over the world in every way possible. It will help them from any stage of their solution, be it idea or an operating business.
The solution is an app that has all the information a startup or entrepreneur might need to start their business. It will guide them every step of the way, and help them understand the business world and how it works. It will have some mentorship an entrepreneur needs it and it will also have some hands on activities that will help startups and entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs can talk to their mentors via the app, discuss things and they will also understand if their product meets the market need. They can do handsome activities and see their progress.
This does not only limit to only entrepreneurs and startups, it is open to everyone who has an idea that they would like to exercise it.
Everyone who wants to learn more about the business world and gain some knowledge is welcome. Everyone with an idea, startups and entrepreneurs. Businesses also.
Myself and my patners have enough skills to help deliver the solution. We have a mutual understanding of the solutions and we have a common goal. We communicate with each other regarding every change that needs to be made or new ideas that come up. As a team that has joined an incubator program, a team that has some knowledge about how these programs are conducted and experienced it. We have seen how competitive it is in there. We have also seen people being rejected by programs due to poor business plans, not meeting the target specific industry and other reasons and that has motivated us as a team.
I have spoken to a some entrepreneurs, have engaged to some people who just started their business. I have joined some programs and engaged with some startups and realised that all these people need is some guidance and mentoring. They need an understanding of their market because most of the time, they don't understand their competitors. They don't do enough research about their competitors, so they end up copying without knowing, making it hard for them to attract the market. I have realized that everyone wants a solution, but no one wants to help grow that solutions from just being an idea.
- Other: Addressing an unmet social, environmental, or economic need not covered in the four dimensions above.
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model
The solutions is broad and is diversified. It does not narrow only to a specific industry. It also does not restrict people, it is flexible and is open to everyone. Anyone who wishes to apply to be a mentor ca apply and have to undergo some stages before it is approved that they are suitable enough.
This is the new solution most startups and entrepreneurs have been waiting for. Every solution has to start somewhere.
As we currently building our app, the goal is to at least deploy it by end of this year and have it running. By next year we should have it on the web and at least see how people react to it and how others find it. Maybe even add some new features that my team and I have been talking about.
currectly we are working on a web application. The application will be found on the web, and not as a mobile app (currently). It will be a Platform as a Service.
