Barbed Wire
• In 1868 Michael Kelley--one of the first men to patent a form of barbed wire--wrote: “My invention [imparts] to fences of wire a character approximating that of a thorn-hedge. I prefer to designate the fence so produced as a ’thorny fence’.”

Barbed Wires
• A wire patented in 1874 by Joseph Glidden of DeKalb, Illinois, became the best-seller. Glidden’s design remains the most popular model of barbed wire today because of its simplicity and adaptability

• The modern paper clip was patented on November 9, 1899 to William D. Middlebrook of Waterbury, Connecticut.

Coat Hanger
• Albert J. Parkhouse, on a cold day in 1903, he found no hooks to hang his coat. In a burst of inventive inspiration, he grabbed some wire and twisted it around so that it fit inside the shoulders of his coat it allowed him to hang the coat anywhere he wanted.

No evaluating and No dismissing

Filling the Form

investor• The market opportunity: need?
customers? • The product/ service• Competitors
![Page 20: Idea Challenge](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56814bfd550346895db8faf8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Filling The form
• Public Summery (20 words): – Brief – Clear (without detail)– Attractive
• What inspired you?– How did you get the idea?
![Page 21: Idea Challenge](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56814bfd550346895db8faf8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Filling The form
• Elevator pitch: (100 words to impress to impress a potential investor)– Brief– Clear– Catches the attention– Stress innovation– Assert profitability
![Page 22: Idea Challenge](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56814bfd550346895db8faf8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Example
• Our innovation is to make and sell a Mobile Cardiopulmonary Test (MCPT) machine: By providing this life saving mobile machine to the public, we will open a new market in smaller clinics, gymnasiums, sports facilities, schools and even homes. Without the home use, the market size is at least 65 Million SR.
![Page 23: Idea Challenge](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56814bfd550346895db8faf8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Filling The form
The market opportunity– What is the market need?– How big is the market in SR or US$?– Who are your target customers? How
many?– Is the market growing or shrinking?– What will be your share of the market
(%)?
![Page 24: Idea Challenge](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56814bfd550346895db8faf8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Example
Heart and lung disease, obesity and diabetes is on the rise in the KSA and it is effecting people at all ages. There is a more urgent need to detect health problems at an early stage. There are at least 300 gymnasiums and sports facilities and 1000 small clinics in the Kingdom that will benefit from the MCPT machine. For an initial price of 50000 SR, the projected market size is 65 million SR. The market will grow further as the new generation of health conscious people will buy the MCPT machine for their home usage.
![Page 25: Idea Challenge](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56814bfd550346895db8faf8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Filling The form
What is your product/ service?• What does it do?• How does it meet the market need?• What is the ‘Unique Selling Point’?• Why will the customer buy your product/
service? • How have you ascertained that your
product/service is technically feasible?
![Page 26: Idea Challenge](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56814bfd550346895db8faf8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example
The MCPT machine provides measurement on cardiopulmonary performance by non-invasively measuring the heart rate, blood pressure and lung capacity. Presently, cardiopulmonary diagnostic machines are too expensive, too big and only available in hospitals and large clinics. By being the first company providing this mobile and affordable MCPT machine, we will open new market and attract small clinics, gymnasiums, and school to procure the MCPT machine and provide the potentially life saving heath test for their customers.

Filling The form
Competitors:• Who are your main competitors?• Why are they not solving the market need?• What are the ‘substitute’ products/ services
to yours? • What competitive edge do you have against
your competition?
