Hi Cole, You are full of passion in presenting your venture! It is always great to start a business that you you know you are gonna love it! I like how you combine e-text book concept with social studies curriculum, which must be very appealing to an EVA. However, I do have problem in justifying your target market. As you have mentioned, there is no official textbook for social studies, and I would like to know why exactly, from an EVA perspective. You might need to justify a bit more why would district schools may want to buy social studies books from SCP now. By doing so, you can help an EVA to understand why digital social study textbook is a promising market in BC.

Hello Yuandi, thank you for your supportive words. The reason why there is not going to be any official textbook for the new BC Social Studies curriculum is because of budget cut backs for the ministry of Education. Ordering and printing a whole new set of books and resources for all of the affective courses is very expensive and the government in BC is heading into an election next year and they will say over and over again that they kept the financial books of the province balanced. However that is my own biased opinion. From an EVA point of view I can help the EVA understand more how blending the digital textbook along with the hardcopy workbooks would in fact save the district, or school, a lot of money in the long run.
