Description:
Two different venture propositions, both of which are in large, high-growth, fragmented markets. First venture is a B2B/B2C internet venture that has a proven business model, only a handful of competitors (none are dominating market entities), and untapped regional marketplaces. Team would consist of two University of Virginia alumni (Commerce/Economics majors with technology backgrounds) and an MIT alumnus (S.B./S.M in Computer Science).
Second venture targets the rapidly expanding male grooming products/toiletry industry, which has seen the market double in size within the past five years (and that is with a narrow focus only on the U.S.). Severely fragmented and under-served marketplace. Innovative new concept leverages the U.S.'s focus on organic, healthy, "metrosexuals". Team is
