25A – What’s Next?



For this assignment, I wanted to test the radical bounds of my venture going from B2C I wanted to see how a site such as Allpoint would if it became a B2B business.What I mean is that I wanted to make a site that allowed businesses to discuss potential changes to their software and their products essential becoming a site where businesses would voice their true opinion which is available for the public to view and read. Personally, after some pondering a bit I viewed this idea unsustainable as already businesses have the ability to communicate with their clientele but unless communicated is absolutely necessary many companies wouldn’t bother wasting their time discussing their projects with the public until it becomes a problem or something is leaked. Regardless, I wanted to see what my interviewees felt about this. The second extreme I wanted to discuss in this series of interviews was the idea of making a professional tech site that is made for exclusive for those who are knowledgeable and have it be a platform that would he used a user work space where people could discuss projects and open source it to the community while also being able recruit professionals for projects and ventures.




Existing Market: A platform that would allow users to connect with their technology allowing them to discuss updates while also being informed of how community feels about features and/or updates.




New Market(s): A platform in which business could discuss with other businesses about their goals/projects which would be publicly available allowing people view goals and intentions of businesses/products.


A platform similar to Linkin and Openstax which will allow users work on projects and find talent while also discuss new updates and existing tech. A website made by professionals for professionals.




Reflection: After discussing all three concepts to my interviewees they seemed to all really like the idea of the last one project. This surprised me the most until they explained their reasoning which made sense to many people technology is the least of their worries so as long as they know the bare minimum to complete their work they will be content with themselves and find no value in site such as “Allpoint”. Where as a site such as my third suggestion many people would love another option to connect to other business/projects where they can apply their skills. This site can alternatively serve as way of granting internships to those who seem curious enough to explore the field. More research is needed but the process to making this transition may be not as difficult as it seems the transition to a open source work space may not be complicated as it seems.

  1. Getting outside perspective is hugely important. However, it's important to take people's advice with a grain of salt. They can point out potential issues, but they can also sometimes give advice that you may have to decide not to take if you want to maintain the mission of your company. I trust you will seek good council and have much success.

  2. Nadeem,

    I would be sure to note the length of your sentences, some of them are too long exceeding 40 words for each sentence. Breaking up your sentences with periods or even commas are a really good way to give a pause to your thoughts. This always makes it easy for your customers to absorb what your saying, especially when you're straightforward and to-the-point.
