Idea Napkin No.1

1.     I am Donovan Vazquez the Chief Executive Officer of DON Enterprise. I am a motivated worker, who always looks to lead teammates while also being a team player and listening to my peers. My entire life I’ve worked miscellaneous jobs like waiter or valet, these jobs gave me insight to different business models and also taught me the value of hard work. My business is a new 2 in 1 washer and dryer that we look to make a standard in modern homes. I see this business, should it start, collecting every ounce of my focus and every drop of sweat. I would like to see the 2-1 washer and dryers become a standard in homes that already have both.
2.     My business offers a 2 fold service. The first service we have is simply the education, sale, delivery, and installment of your 2 in 1 washer dryer. A representative will make house calls or representatives in department stores will advise the customers and guide the process. The second element of the business is collecting the old washer and dryers as sort of a trade in for the new 2 in 1 system. The ease of the 2 in 1 system, coupled with the incentive of trading in 2 or 1 of the customers old systems for credit towards the newer easier washer dryer combo is a benefit to the company and customer.
3.     We offer these systems to a wide array of customers. An industrial sized 2 in 1, and a coin laundry 2 in 1, can allow us to sell to big laundromats that already exist. Additionally, we will sell most of the systems to homeowners who already have old separate systems, while also educating new homeowners and buyers of buying the 2 in 1 system instead of separate ones.
4.     Customers will pay money for two reasons. The company would be rooted in customer service and the ease of working with the company will make customers more inclined to buy. The second reason is the main 2 prong business model allows for optimal revenue while also aiding customers in the transfer to our newer more efficient system. The hassle of having to switch clothes between cycles, and time your daily activities around the switch is no more. The 2 in 1 system allows for one drop-off of dirty clothes and one simple pickup of your washed and dried garments.
5.     Again, our superior customer service, much like Apple and Amazon, will set us apart from other methods of purchasing a washer and dryer. Our “old system out, new system” in plan adds an easier option to customers other providers cannot complete.


I think the elements I have fit well together. The existing model is a recipe for success and the target markets are well planned and easily attainable. I really think this company can make the conventional methods of getting a washer or dryer, and buying separate systems obsolete. One thing I would like to work on is bettering ways to reach out to the customers and homeowners that other companies do not use. With hard work and focus, this business plan will be very successful, while also helping the worlds simple tasks become simpler.

  1. Donovan,

    Of all the napkin pitches I read, you actually presented yours like it was a business that was already up and running, it was well done. I would have liked to hear what made you think of this business in some way or WHY your business stands out from others (aside from good customer service as I expect that in the business) that are already out there but overall for your first "napkin" pitch, it was well done.

  2. Donovan,
    Well done! You really acted like you had started up this business. I also would totally buy your product. You should really pursue this idea! You didn't just talk about your idea but how you would make it happen like making house calls, etc.

  3. I like the way you presented your idea. I think you should do a little research and identify how your system will differ from already existing 2 in 1 washer dryer combos. Home Depot, Lowes and the like already offer this product. I like that you would offer a service for trade in and haul away of older units. Have you thought about what you would do with these older units? Here is an interesting web site that has a 2 in 1 with the capabilities of scanning items and folding them for you.

    Good luck.

  4. Hey Donovan, I thought your idea was very impressive and unique. I like how you would manage your business and how you projected the business to grow. Coming up with a 2 in 1 washer dryer would not be easy, but if you were to create such invention I think it would be the next big thing on the market. I personally would buy one because of the same reasons you listed, it is a hassle having to switch clothes between cycles. Here is the link to my blog, feel free to check it out
