Wow! During the Summer Incubate marketplace, Danaya, one of the winners of her class's shark tank pitch competition, unveiled and sold out of her winning Curly Comb product. Beginning with a low-fidelity prototype phase then expanding to use TinkerCad, Danaya created a 3D model of a widetooth comb attachment and was able to print and attach it to a squeeze bottle to help make wash days for curly and coily hair simpler. #youthentrepreneurship #skillbuilding #STEAMagency #youthinventions

For #TBT "Throw Back Thursday", I wanted to share an old picture from my very first pitch of Safety TUFF Gloves for the App State Entrepreneurship program. For those who don't know, I own and run Safety TUFF. Our gloves are built like steel toe boots - just for your hands. Before I graduated from App, I spent some time with the Entrepreneurship Program learning about how to start businesses. Going into this summit pitch (like a mini shark tank) I had the #2 invention in the competition. I didn't even place by the end of it. However, I didn't quit. I learned from my pitch and got better. Very soon you'll see my gloves on Tractor Supply's website 👀 The biggest thing I learned during my time with this program is that you have to find a real problem and then find the best solution for that problem. So for my example: Problem: People injure their fingers while moving heavy objects Solution: A glove specifically designed to protect against injury to fingers without compromising comfort Want to start a business? Look for a problem, find the solution! But most importantly, don't quit on it!

🚀 The success of a startup isn't just about the idea...it's about the journey! 🚀 Too often, we see founders focusing solely on innovation and building the perfect product, but they forget a crucial point: the strategy they'll use to grow. 👉 What common mistake do we see? Many startups focus entirely on product differentiation, while neglecting their go-to-market strategy, branding, and long-term scalability. 🔄 ❌ Confusion: The value proposition is unclear. ❌ Inefficiency: Founders waste resources on strategies that don't deliver tangible results. ❌ Disconnection: The message doesn't resonate with their target audience. At FloorX, we change the game: ✅ Customized strategy: We work side by side with founders to build a solid, scalable growth path. ✅ Impact-focused: We help startups communicate their value clearly, so the market knows exactly what they offer. ✅ Transparent partnerships: We collaborate to create win-win strategies, where the founder's success is our success too. Our mission? Accelerating startup journeys by promoting innovation, facilitating growth, and ensuring success. 💡 Are you a founder looking to scale your business? Let’s talk: https://lnkd.in/eBdNtypf #Innovate #Scale #Succeed #startup #growth #innovation #FloorX #BarcelonaStartup #consulting #Barcelona #Business #Founders

898. That is how many people are listed as working for Vroom on LinkedIn. That represents the number of automotive friends and family members that are already a part of this industry that we should not let go! For the most part, I have not been a proponent of the way what Vroom went to market (see: 2021 Super Bowl commercial). However, they have challenged this industry in many ways that I do think are good. They, similar to Carmax and Carvana, build scale into everything. They gave customers a choice on how to purchase. They made things easier. Did they make mistakes? DUH...every startup does (I should know...) Are there good people in those 898 that you would love to have working for you...you bet! I am working on a spreadsheet where you can find every profile, title, and name and will share it when I have it! Let's get some people some new homes! #automotive #vroom #jobs #automotiveindustry #dealership
