Idea Napkin No. 1

My name is Ethan Irvin. I'm a UF mathematics major in the Innovation Academy. I have some programming experience and am comfortable speaking in large crowds and one on one. Ideally, I would want this business to help students, myself included, get more organized and help more people manage their lives. I would not be looking for a large profit, I would want to use it to build a name for myself and help others with a problem that I deal with.
I am offering a program that works as a calendar, to-do list, event planner, and journal. By putting all of their due dates, class times, exams, club events, and other activities on one platform students will be better able to plan study time and fun time by keeping an accurate record of when they need to be where.
This program would be open to anyone who wants to try it, but I would tailor it towards the average college student. Anyone taking tradition or hybrid classes that would benefit from combining all of there course work and class times onto one platform.
Students all want to be organized, but very few want to take the time to get organized, I am offering them that organization that would help them to reach their goal with practically no strain on the student.
Other programs and apps typically focus as one thing, either a calendar or to-do list, and none of the items that the university offers interact with each other. Mine would be an all-around app that was able to tie everything together by putting it on one screen, all the information you need would be kept together.

  1. Ethan,
    I am a student that hates having to put together calendar. I usually just take my schedule week by week. But I think this would be a very useful tool for me, and something I can actually see myself doing. But, the reason I don’t like to keep a calendar is the fact that I have to use different apps to pull everything together. So my question to you is would your product do all that for me? Or would I have to input the information ahead of time and then it organizes itself? But overall I really like your idea, and can’t wait to see what you do with it. Thank you for sharing.
