One Paragraph Pitch
When moving to a new city, shouldn't it be easier for young professionals to find the quality services that they expect without suffering through a trial and error period? This online space will aggregate businesses, such as tailors, dry cleaners, and barber shops, in various US cities, giving each establishment its own entry that will be developed by users. Each entry will give all of the essential information (location, hours of operation, fees, etc.). Additionally, the establishment entries will mimic an easy-to-read encyclopedia entry. This feature will differentiate this site from other sites that provide similar information. Other sites maintain lengthy lists of user-comments that are difficult to parse through for desired information. We hope to use targeted advertising (generated by user information) and possible grants for funding. And, while the project would need to be monitored, the staff numbers and interference will be limited.

Very interesting idea. I wonder how broad the site will be or if it will be very focused on services. Will you also cover grocery stores, clothing shops, restaurants? I am wondering if there will be some sort of limit. Cool idea!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the idea is to be focused...both in the businesses we mention and also the audience this is geared towards.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea...it is hard to find these types of services when you go to a new place and you can google that information and usually find reviews, but to find it all in one place would be most helpful!
