Your Venture's Unfair Advantage

My venture is a political application to cancel out bias in the mainstream media.


Resources:


  • Youth- It is valuable as it can't be bought or created and allows for a greater amount of energy as well as time to put into a venture. Though it is not rare, it is a resource that everyone has but most don't properly use it. There is no substitute for youth.
  • Political Science Training - It is a vital component in this industry as having the understanding and know-how in regards to politics is vital. It is quite a common degree that anyone can take at an accredited institution. It can be substituted with actual political experience.
  • Fraternal Ties: As a member of a fraternity, I have access to specialists in many different fields to help make my venture a reality. Fraternal ties are quite common, yet, not everyone has it as well as the ability to access such a high amount of computer science majors. Networking could be just as effective, yet, more tedious.
  • Business Plan: My venture has a detailed plan that outlines how we will operate as well as how we will make a profit. The end result of this will be that we will more attractive to investors, though anyone can make a business plan with the proper time, knowledge and feedback. 
  • Mass Distribution: An application on Google Play or the App Store can be accessed by anyone around the world. This being said, it is somewhat difficult to actually get an application on the App store making it a bit challenging for a rival to copy us for a couple months time. 
  • Easy to Use Interface: An application with an attractively simple setup will appeal to utilitarians. Some political apps are quite complex and hard to use as well as it is an obstacle for a company to easily create such an interface. 
  • Non-Biased: All of our competitors have a bias of some sort in their reporting. We will pull all of our information from the public records in order to allow people to make their own decisions. This is extremely rare and hard for others to get rid of their bias as they would lose their entire client base.
  • Having a team: My business partners are experts in their distinctive fields of journalism, programming and business allowing for a range of knowledge to be input to a myriad of problems associated with starting a business. It is hard to find experts at such an early stage of a company's creation and they bring a massive amount of value to the company as a whole. An established company can easily procure such a group with ease.
  • Dream to Change the World: A cause can help motivate both employees and investors into your idea and help it make a reality. Very few companies have any end goals that aren't just about making money. Trying to end bias is unique in its scope as well as nigh impossible for others to copy as it is so easy to simply be the voice piece of an interest group.
  • Time: My venture's idea was created a year and a half of ago and is constantly being improved upon as time goes on. It is not until recently that much of the mechanisms were thought of and described in our business plan. Any company that lasts long enough can use time to their advantage to improve themselves through experience. 
The most important resource that we have is our cause to make information unbiased as that is what our entire operation is based on. Without it, all that we have is a thirst for money and hence, we lose all of our moral high ground cards causing us to just become just another news site. It is also what leads us to do what we do as well. The chance to make history is what attracts extraordinary talent to a company and leads to massive profits and overall success of a dream.

Hey Michael,

First off, I think this is an awesome idea. The mainstream media has the ability to manipulate the news into a story that they want you to absorb from their point of view. I really hope you pursue this venture, and I truly plead with the American people to utilize it if you choose to do so. More importantly, you did a great job on this assignment. You have several resources that are clearly indicated and will prove to be valuable towards the success of your project. I look forward to seeing your app in my Apple App Store soon. If you have a minute, take a look at the post I provided on my venture. I would really value your feedback. All the best!

Richard

Michael,

I think you've pointed out some great advantages. You also made a good point about operating with a certain level of moral principles. I think what becomes difficult is proving that you are reporting without bias. If you tell a story the way you've interpreted it, someone might perceive that as bias since you're not perceiving the story from maybe the same standpoint. I applaud your dedication to keep a trust worthy news source available for us. I always value feedback if you have time.
