Assignment 3 Entrepreneurship Story

My entrepreneurship story is a little bit of an odd, but unique one. I started becoming interested in entrepreneurial ventures my junior year of high school when I took an entrepreneurship class. As part of the class we were required to come up with a business idea and write a business plan for it. Wanting to be different I used an idea that I thought of while sitting at a table in Panera Bread. The idea was for a table that had a built in toaster in it that popped the bread up and onto your plate when the toast was finished, the product was called a "Toasta Table" and was under the fictional company of "Toastas Inc." As a part of the assignment I created a company logo and slogan and even a line of a bunch of other products the company could sell such as a "Toasta Chandelier" and a shirt called "Pocka Nugget" that in theory would heat up a select amount of frozen chicken nuggets in the front shirt pocket. After presenting my ideas and company to my classmates, my creativity became a huge hit, so I decided to create a few different shirt designs of my ideas that I sold to my classmates. This experience in my life really sparked an interest in the entrepreneurship world for me. This interest in entrepreneurship led me to take this class as I hope to gain more knowledge on the entrepreneurship field and continue to gain interest and passion for it as well.

  1. Hey Christopher,
    I think your Toasta Table and Pocka Nugget ideas are very unique and fun. The fact that you actually made shirts and sold them is even better. Im curious as to how the Pocka Nugget would work, however. How does the shirt get its heat source and how does it not burn the person wearing the shirt? I would definitely buy it if it ever becomes a thing, sounds like a nice way to keep warm and well fed.
