My venture is called Mobile Seniors. It is set of workshops designed to help seniors improve their skills and comfort with technologies such as cell phones, computers, cameras, and more. Mobile seniors is designed to travel to remote/rural locations to educate elders who are financially unable to attend, medically unfit/unable to travel, or are unable to drive.
My venture and Elevator Pitch can be found on my site: https://mobileseniors.weebly.com
Have fun!

FEEDBACK: Hi Marshall, good work. My comments echo Robert and Brian's below. As an investor, I would be primarily concerned with how the company would make money, given that the cost of travel and low class sizes would limit your revenue considerably. Another thing I was wondering was whether or not seniors would even have access to the tech in the first place. If yes, then your instructors would have to tailor lessons to a large variety of hardware and software. Maybe there could be an opportunity to partner your venture with a larger company like Amazon, Best Buy, or another retailer, where the seniors order the product, and Mobile Seniors delivers the product AND offers the classes? That would make scheduling a beast, but at least you would have the strength of the backing of a big retailer in your pitch. P.S. I couldn't get any audio on your animation. I tried with other videos and the audio is ok. Is it just my issue?
Great product, but I would have liked to see more information around how I can invest and make money from this endeavor. This would have been great focused towards a government grant, showing why this will be productive for the province, or a for-profit endeavor that received commission or some sort of pay from seniors who make technology purchases.
Feedback - Hey Marshall, I really like your idea. I know that in In urban centers there are many ways this already happens (community college learning series) - but your focus on rural locations is key. My concern as a potential investor is how can you really make money with traveling and small classes? The elevator pitch seemed a little more of an advertisement than a pitch to an investor, but it did an excellent job outlining what you will do as a company. Great work! Brian
