Day 11

​The Startup team gathered early this Monday morning to discuss the events of last Friday’s trip to Aruliden and decide how to move forward with the idea to improve upon metered parking. After reviewing the tips we received from Aruliden, it was decided that a business to business sales model would be the most beneficial. By marketing our product to car manufacturer we eliminate the hassle of convincing consumers to purchase the hardware, and make convincing municipalities to implement the system easier because it will come from the more established car companies. At 1:30 the team reconvened after lunch for a conference call with Dr. Richards. After reviewing the days accomplishments, we planned for the rest of the week, arranging another conference call for Wednesday afternoon. Over the next few days the team plans on taking field trips to several sites with metered parking in order to get more detailed consumer research underway.
