Dear IUJers,
Global Entrepreneurship Week http://www.unleashingideas.org/ on Nov 17-23, 2008 in Tokyo, Japan.
Global Entrepreneurship Week Japan is hosting a 90+ second "Elevator Pitch" preliminary round video contest on youtube. We (Devang, Gupta and Larry) have participated the competition and now seek your voluntary assistance to promote our entrepreneurial ideas.
Please check out the Global Entrepreneurship Week Japan (GEWJ)"Elevator Pitch" competition video at the following URL http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=ffPAfUbOF-k
After watching the video we urge all IUJers to put their positive comments on to the links not only to promote us but also for our university. We have put in a lot of effort on this Business pitch idea; this means a lot to us.
Our core "Business pitch" is: I Box and Downloadbox.com
IBoX- An inexpensive hard disk plugged to the internet
Downloadbox.com- A one-stop multimedia content platform, where IBox users could make purchase and download contents to their "IBoX". The "IBoX' could be located anywhere.
Function of "IBoX"- Stores purchased media contents from www.downloadbox.com. It could be remotely accessed with your "IBoX' username and password either on mobile phone or PC.擨BoX" users could access their contents on PC computers via USB 2.0.
WWW.Downloadbox.com- A one stop multimedia content platform where partner content/data providers share their databases and these are fed to "IBoX" web user profile. "IBoX" users would be able to purchase High-definition movies, PC application software and PC games where ever they may be located. All contents are automatically stored remotely in their personal "IBoX".
Our Value Proposition: Saving valuable time and therefore hassle for the Japanese salary men.
High Quality Download should be location independent
Words from Devang, Gupta, and Larry:
Right from the beginning of our journey (more than a week ago) IBoX and downloadbox.com site made us gradually believe and instill conviction that this product does solve the download hassle for Japanese white collar people. If you feel that this business idea is connecting your live or somehow passing a clear message then please post your valuable comment on our link.
Please do not let this idea go down the drain....promote it!!!
Yours
IUJ Students and Classmate.

Larry, I saw the video on youtube. I liked the idea. The only comment I had was the "sticky core message" :) Short, impressive one, so that viewers will not forget after watching it. Good luck Larry and team.
Larry, it is a very interesting idea, and I’m impressed by your effort. However, I’d like to make some comments from the view point of white color Japanese: your target!
Recently, Japanese salary men and bureaucracy have been found to see web sites in working hours, and it became a kind of moral and social problem. Therefore, if we try to download music and movies in our office, we should do that very secretly…. In my company, we cannot access to downloading site because of web filtering.
In addition, if we could access to downloading site, we cannot download any data to IBOX via USB because of encryption software. The leak of confidential information is also a big problem these days; for example, Japanese self-defense force, banks, insurance companies, etc. We can access to the customers information and confidential data through daily work; therefore, information management is very strict now. So, we cannot move out any data from our PCs technically if it were a movie data.
Is it a targeting problem or technical problem? What do you think?
Thank you Ryota for your valuable insights on the Japanese white collar people.
I am very sorry that our video failed to put a clear message about the functions and works of both IBoX and downloadbox.com
Firstly, IBox is an inexpensive hard disk plugged to the internet-its kind of a set box you could put at your home. Once IBox is plugged to the internet then you could make content purchase from www.downloadbox.com over the internet. The purchased contents are then remotely stored at IBoX, which is probably located in your home. The three groups of contents that we are offering are PC softwares, Movies, and PC games.
Our core idea: downloading of contents should be location independant-that is content does not have to use any of the physical resources rather every contents are routed to "IBoX", which is an inexpensive hard disk plugged to the internet. White collar people basically could access contents over the internet and yet not making any download to their office desktop PC. Purchased downloaded contents are simply routed to the "IBoX".
"IBoX" users could access their user profile with their "IBoX" username and password to their personalized "IBoX" user profile over the internet(browser needed).In the user profile they are offered easy to use web user interface to make content purchase of movies, PC games and PC softwares.
Upon completion of purchase cycle, the download is initiated to their IBoX. The white collar men could simply close their browser and leave for home.
At home he could access his purchased or downloaded contents by plugging the "IBoX" to his home desktop PC via USB cable.
Our Value Propostion: 1) Saves time for the white collar people by trimming down the search and download hassle.
2) Download is location independant. It is accessible via Downloadbox.com with your cell phone or any desktop PC located elsewhere.
