Assignment3A: Entrepreneurship Story


Part-taking in the Innovation academy and Catalyst last year has really been my first experience with entrepreneurship. Throughout my time in IA, I have created a biodegradable condom and a child’s puzzle that teaches braille.  I never considered myself to be a creative person until I took creativity in context and invented a biodegradable condom. Throughout the process I learned the importance of product research and interviewing experts. I interviewed an environmental sciences student studying at University of Florida, when prompted with the prototype he was immediately intrigued and really endorsed Bee Safe as a whole concept. We had to look into better alternatives for the environment because the chemicals and parabens put into condoms make them very hard to break-down, we also had to research alternatives, like lambskin condoms but those can be off-putting. I created the idea, logo, branding, and poster. My team and I presented the prototype and business model at Catalyst, earning us the people’s choice award and teaching us a lot about what it is like to create a start-up company. I hope that ENT3003 will foster that knowledge and hopefully find a connection to my neuropsychology major.

When compared to similar campuses, such as Florida State University ( 477 acres ), University of Florida towers over the competitor school at 2,000 acres. This demonstrates the need for extra transportation because walking from one end to the other of Florida State’s campus is not nearly as daunting as the track across over a thousand acres of land that makes up University of Florida’s campus On that note University of Florida has an abundant scooter population with infrastructure better suited for scooter commuters than commuters ...
