INOVAÇÃO

A necessidade: Qual é o problema que você está tentando resolver?

There is a famous quote:
"Life is not measured by the breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away." Anon
People in third worlds deserve thrills and excitement in their lives. It takes them away from their situation and provides them with great memories and energy.

A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!

A percentage of "stoked professional beauty" company profit will go into a fund that will provide "stoked" activities for kids in the third world: street-dance, beat-boxing, sand-boarding, surfing, quirky nail art etc.

O Modelo: Demonstre através de um exemplo específico como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas atividades primárias

"stoked professional beauty" will be a fun B2B brand that manufactures, retails and distributes salon-quality beauty products.
Putting words like "stoked" and "beauty" together is almost an oxymoron, but that will be our USP. There are numerous B2C brands that deliver on this, but B2B brands tend to take themselves very seriously.
The distribution channel will be limited to professional salons, and therapists will need to undertake "stoked professional beauty" training prior to performing treatments.

O Mercado: Quem são os seus pares e concorrentes? Identificar os outros que também estão trabalhando para solucionar as mesmas necessidades que você e o que você faz de diferente em relação a eles. Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?

People in the West indulge in salon-performed beauty treatments (and Ben & Jerry's ice cream). "Stoked professional beauty" products will be a talking point for 2 reasons: product quality and social enterprise. When people are relaxed (during a beauty treatment), they come up with great ideas.... This may stimulate more people to become involved in socially enterprising activities in the future (or at least have more fun themselves!).
The competitors vary depending on the product. I'd like to start the product portfolio with a homogenous product, like semi-permanent eyelashes. Competitors therefore would be:
ABC Beauty Ltd
ABX Beauty Group
Beauty Express
Lash FX
Lash Perfect

IMPACTO SOCIAL

What is the social impact you have had to date and how you measure it?

I have organised and undertaken voluntary work myself.
Whilst in South African townships, I managed to source football kits from my home-town football club (Nottingham Forest), and health and beauty products from the organisation I worked for.
I also personally paid for the South African class to go water-skiing.

What barriers might hinder the success of your business? How do you plan to overcome them?

How does your model address financial, social, and environmental sustainability?

The company will start small, and will evolve through a viral campaign. It will be profit making and I will listen to the advice of mentors.
I am a project manager and a full PESTLE analysis will be undertaken prior to making any financial outlay
