- For-profit, including B-Corp or similar models
We are specifically tackling the issue of our communities limited availability to high quality baked goods and expert event organising services. This problem impacts people and groups organizing small to large scale festival and other events. The raising frequency of social events and celebration around the world is driving up demand for baked goods and event planning expertise. Recent data indicates that the baking sector brings in billions of dollars a year, while event organising sector is expected to expand gradually over the next several years. The difficulty in finding professional bakers and event planners along with the time consuming nature of do it yourself methods are factors that contribute to the issue. Our approach seeks to make high quality baked goods and expert event planning services easily accessible.
Our solution is an all inclusive platform that helps people and organizations create events they won't soon forget by fusing our expertise in event planning with baking services. This is how it operates:
Baking services: a selection of mouthwatering baked delicacies such as cakes, cupcake, cookies and more are available for customers to peruse. Through our portal they may place orders directly indicating their dietary needs and preferences.
Technology: our platform utilizes an intuitive online interface that allows customers to browse products, place, orders and communicate with our team effortlessly. Our platform makes use of a user-friendly online interface that makes it simple for clients to browse products, place orders and get in touch with our staff.
People and organizations organizing special occasions like weddings, birthday parties, business get-together and other events fall under our target demographic. They are presently underprivileged in a number of ways:
Restricted access: a lot of people don't have access to professional bakers and event coordinators in their neighborhood, which causes concessions in the events quality and implementation.
Time constraints: families and working professionals frequently find it difficult to set aside time for baking and event planning which leads to hurried and stressful preparations.
In order to meet these needs, our solution offers:
Convenient access: our platform makes it simple for clients to get in touch with local, qualified bakers and event planners, guaranteeing that they will receive high quality services.

I selected the prototype option because our solution is still at the early stage of it's development, with lined investment capital and no significant user base established yet. We are currently focused on building and testing the initial version of our platform to gather feedback and refine our offering before scaling up. While we have not yet started a large number of customers or beneficiaries, our focus is on building a solid foundation and gathering feedback from early users is critical to ensuring that we deliver a high quality solution that meets the needs of our target population effectively.
I hope that solve can be able to help us overcome several barriers as we continue to develop and scale our solutions:
First is our financial barriers - as a startup with limited resources we face challenges in securing funding for our products development, marketing and scaling our operations. We hope that solve can connect us with grant opportunities, potential investors or funding partners who share our vision and are willing to provide financial support to help us grow sustainably.
Technical barriers- building and maintaining a robust online platform requires technical expertise and resources, solve could connect us with technical partners who can provide us with guidance, support and resources to improve our functionality and security of our platform.
Legal barriers- navigating legal requirements and regulations related to food safety and contracts can be complex and time consuming. Solve can help us connect with legal experts to ensure that we operate.
By leveraging solve's network and resources, we aim to overcome these barriers and accelerate growth and impact of our solution, ultimately making a meaning difference in the lives of our customers and communities.
