Idea Napkin No. 1

1.       I am a third-year finance major at the University of Florida. Some of my talents include math, public speaking, and critical thinking. I have had an internship with PepsiCo in their corporate FP&A department and this upcoming summer I will be an intern at Wells Fargo Securities in their Investment Banking Division. My aspirations regarding my business idea is to bring comfort and convenience to lives of distressed travelers who find themselves in bad situations.

2.       The service that I plan on offering to customers includes immediate flights to major airports that run on the clock at specific times. We will work as a reconciliation service for airlines that aren’t able to get travelers where they need to be in the proper amount of time. I am still considering offering this service for travelers that are more high profile and that don’t want to be bothered by fans or critics.

3.       The people that I will be offering this service to would either be the distressed travelers that are being disappointed by major airlines, or high-profile individuals.

4.       These people care because there are major airlines that are taking advantage of their power over people’s travel itinerary. People are forced to spend nights sleeping in airports or not get where they need to go when they need to be there. Offering an alternative service that is more frequent and convenient will bring value to this customer base.

5.       What sets me apart from the other major airlines is that my airline would be focused on taking care of our customers and making sure that all interactions with customers are pleasant ones. This will be attractive to customers when compared to other airlines.

I truly believe that offering an airline alternative to people who are being taken advantage of by the major airlines is a major opportunity. Being able to travel knowing that the airline will stop at nothing to get you where you need to go is a great feeling and would transform the way people travel.
