My Artistic Side

To My Readers,

Connecticut got snowed in today, so I took the opportunity to do some painting. No, nothing with brushes and oils (sorry for my abundance of terrible jokes…). I managed to created my business model canvas for the Ultimate Mixer business concept.

It’s essentially a brief, one-page overview of the characteristics involved with all aspects of the venture. For the last few days I had a tough time getting started, only doing some research here and there about the audio technology that’s available today and some consumer characteristics. But other than that, I was pretty stuck on where to begin with this task.

When finally beginning to answer the questions brought up for the consumer category, I almost questioned whether I want to pursue this idea at all anymore. After an hour of struggling, I finally got a rhythm going on where this concept should go. I skipped straight to the Value Proposition which jumpstarted my creative juices. After only another hour or so, I had nearly all of the categories filled out. With this plan, I see a lot of areas critical to the success of the business that I’ll need to outsource or recruit for.

Just to get a prototype going, I’ll need a software programmer to create the technology. Software will be needed to interact with a digital mixer that has motorized or digital controls. It will analyze audio signals sent to the mixer from microphones. Then, based on preprogrammed outcomes, modify the inputted audio automatically and send it to the receiving source. Once it’s fully developed, the two of us can copyright the software. This stage will demand many hours, but can be self-funded, provided I can find a partner that’s willing to invest in the technology.

We will then attempt to build a prototype mixer that we can develop the softer further with. This can be taken to venture capitalists, Apple, and other audio manufactures to see what our best option would be to move forward with. If none of these options pan out, then we’ll create a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds and build awareness. This will also by time for us to network and seek out manufacturers that can build the mixer. From there we can determine what time frame and minimum quantity is need to have a batch of mixers ready to sell.

There’s far more “if’s” involved with this venture than I’m typically comfortable with. But I’m very curious to see what answers I can discover and where this will all go!

Until next time…
