The Story.
Innovator(s)
This is the first of four pitch competitions this semester. Our first video is an introduction. Please send feedback at www.ShopSMSD.org!
Sports have been a passion of mine for my entire life. So I decided to start collecting sports cards when I was 14 years old. It soon turned into something I started making money off of from reselling them on Ebay. I have also had a passion for staring my own business and having creative control so I decided to combine the two and make my own sports collectibles business.
Problem
The problem my product solves is the availability of sports cards and other collectibles.
Solution
I am selling various sports collectibles but will mainly focus on sports cards.
Target Market
My target market is anyone who collects sports cards and other collectibles.
Societal Impact
Although I do not have any immediate plans, in the future I would like to give a small percentage of my sales to different charities.
Next Steps
I will help my business grow by continuously adding inventory and marketing on social media and in person.
Reflection
So far it is going great as I have almost everything ready and should begin sales within the next few months.
Use of Backer Contributions
All of the funding will go directly into increasing inventory so we are ready when sales begin.
