Growing your social capital

I have found three different people to talk about my ideas. The first person I came in contact with, was another student from the University of Florida who falls in the market expert category. After meeting with her, when she asked to interview me for one of her classes I asked if she can talk to me about my ideas in return. I told her about my idea and she had the same idea in mind. She would be considered an expert in this industry because she understands the blue lights and why they are so important to college students. She agrees that safety is important especially at night and explained how she would love to help me with the app and work together. Second, I spoke to an adult that started up his own company and also has children in college, he is under the domain expert category. He explained that he would love to help create this app because he worries about his kids every day and always hears crazy stories about college students and would never want his kids to be in that situation, that is why he thinks this app is different and would really do well. I reached out to him with a phone call because I knew he started his own business and how smart he is and the phone call went very well. When I scheduled time to talk to him over the phone, he took time out of his busy work day and I was so thankful for that. Third, I spoke to an old teacher of mine who would be a market supplier, and he believed that if this app was created colleges all over the country would be promoting this app and using it in order to protect their students. I did not expect the feedback to be the same for all three people. They were all interested in the app and thought it was a great idea. Talking to these people made me realize that this is a great idea for an app and that people across the country would be using it.
