Trash Talk
One Line Pitch: A solution to the littering problem.
Business Summary: We’ve come up with a device designed to help people get into the habit of throwing out their trash correctly, and have fun while doing so. We hope to eliminate the littering problem by having a Trash Talk in every home.

Customers: We do not currently have anyone signed up to purchase a Trash Talk, but 70% of people interviewed are interested.

Business Model: Our two sales channels we’re going to pursue are an e-commerce site and big box stores. The website is meant to capture the largest audience, whereas the big box stores are more for impulse shoppers.
Competitors: There are no direct competitors to our
