When all is said and done...

Gryphon’s den was surprisingly a great experience. Although I was terrified to present, once I was finished and could relax, it was awesome to see everyone’s ideas and how far they have come over the past 8 weeks. What I found most interesting was listening to the pitches that I had heard a couple of weeks ago and hearing how much they did or did not change in relation to the feedback given.

      After listening to everyone’s idea’s there were many that I would definitely invest in. One of which was the U-charge. I thought that this idea was great. When listening to their speech I was intrigued, rather than jumping right into their idea, they began with a little humor, which was refreshing to see. After the humor passed there was a little bit of a fumble, but they managed to come back with a bang. I can’t blame them for the fumble; because frankly I’m surprised I was sick on the stage. There is something about presenting with no extra help to guide your thoughts that makes your mind completely freeze and forget your entire thought process.

For those of you reading this and were not at Gryphon’s den I will give you a little break down of what exactly U-charge is. This product almost acts as a pedometer in the sense that as you move the U-charge monitors this movement and begins to charge itself through this movement. However, it doesn’t stop there, even when you are not moving this product will create a pendulum effect and charge itself. With this charged device, you can then charge any cellphone in order to bring it back to life. Clearly I can not describe this product as well as the group did.. but you get the gist right?

The reason why this stood out to me is because we have all been there. Everyone has struggled to keep that last 14% of your battery alive for as long as possible, and does it ever work… NO! You end up with a dead phone, no way to contact anyone to tell them you’re phone is dead and it always seems to happen at the worst time. I know that I have seen a lot of products out there that basically do the same thing, but the way that this device is charged and the fact that it could charge itself when you stop moving stood out in my mind.

All in all, everyone did an amazing job and I’m very proud of my fellow Gryph’s for all the effort they put into their ideas and nerves they’ve overcome after presenting.

Finally, I obviously can't put up this post without commending my team as well. We worked so hard on our project and definitely came a long way in the process. We worked so well together and am proud of every single one of them... its been fun ;)
