Elevator Pitch No. 3

Unfortunately, I was having some trouble with youtube and uploading my pitch. But here it is written out!


"My name is Carter Nash and my service is called Any Ride. Have you ever been told to take grandma there, or grandpa here. Have you ever had your mother or father begging for a ride to do a simple errand. The problem many elderly and disabled people face is lack of freedom due to their inability to drive. Any Ride provides a fast, reliable, safe, and comfortable solution. With Any Ride, users can call upon comfortable or specialized vehicle that will take them any where they would like to go. The application will also have an online format, for those elderly who may not use smartphones. Through an easy to use app or website, riders can be picked up wherever they are in a matter of minutes. Any Ride is a service designed for the elderly, along with disabled people. With more than 40 million people over the age of 65, I believe Any Ride can skyrocket and become one of the largest transportation movements."

What stood out to me most from the feedback was that I should work on speaking with more clarity and speaking louder. Other than that, the feedback was mostly positive.

  1. Good morning!

    oh man, that sucks that you were having troubles uploading this. Good solution to write it out. Well, I have to say that I would have much rather have seen the pitch, but in reading it, I get to point just as clearly. I'm sure that I have commented on this before, my concept is a transportation service too, but for kids. You are talking about older people using smartphones and websites, what about those that don't care for either. I think you should be prepared for several phone calls as well. I think they would be more apt to calling than scheduling something online.
    Overall, great idea!

  2. Hi Carter,

    I had some issues uploading my Elevator Pitch No. 2, fortunately I was able to upload it the day after it was due. It'd be great if you could work out your issues and upload, but great idea typing it out nonetheless! It would be good if we could hear any improvements in your presentation; however, based on the info you've provided, I totally agree with Carolyn. While having a website in addition to an application would help many people without smartphones, many elderly people aren't tech-savvy enough to use a computer so having a call-in option would be great! Good work!

  3. Carter,
    Unfortunately, there is not much to comment on this pitch. The idea sounds great, and seems like there is a great potential for a service like this. As far as seeing if you've improved your clarity and speaking louder, I think it's pretty obvious that I can't tell.....
    Good idea!
