Tell us about your personal background. Why are you passionate about this issue? Making an idea a reality takes innovation, dedication and strong leadership. Do you have the necessary entrepreneurial skills to realize your vision?
I'm very health conscious but I don't like fruit. I feel bad knowing that I'm not getting any of the vitamins I need. Every year I grow organic blackcurrants and sell them to local hotels and restaurants. This led me to the idea of "Fruit Boosts". A concentrated vitamin drink made mainly from organic fruits. These boosts will hopefully be a concentrate which can be mixed with water or fizzy drinks, or a be chosen to drink straight.
My idea for fruit boosts came from my passion to be healthy and my selling of organic blackcurrants. This idea will help people get the vitamins they need in an organic manner, instead of in the form of a tablet (such as borocca).
I have drive, focus and enthusiasm. I am organised and creative.

Innovation
The Need: What problem are you trying to solve?
A lot of people do not like fruit, therefore do not get the vitamins they need. I am trying to give these people these vitamins in an organic a way as possible
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
Make an extremely concentrated organic fruit juice which can be drunk straight or mixed with other drinks in order to provide people with the vitamins they need.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities
The planting\picking of fruit will create jobs,. Drinks will be bottled and sold. People that drink the juices will receive the vitamins they need.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?
Competitors are other juice companies. However these companies make non-concentrated juices, which would be my products usp.
