Xccraft Case Study Essay

1. I would invest in xCraft because I see the versatility and multiple routes with this investment. As stated by the owners. They have the X PlusOne with a solid investment of $170,000 on Kickstarter. We can also market the X PlusOne to other cliental such as oil companies, people with large acres of land, and even movie directors considering how fast the drone can go. We also have the potential star, the PhoneDrone Ethos: With about $350,000 in investments from Kickstarter and Indiegogo, I can see the PhoneDrone being marketed more for consumer and see that potential there and finally the most promising route is of course licensing our product. Making the investment a little less risky if we are able to land a deal.

2. Secondly I would invest in this business because the two current owners; JD Claridge and Charles Manning seem to have good heads on their shoulders and I would consider both reliable. JD the CEO of xCraft is an aerospace engineer with great background in aircrafts. Charles Manning the co-founder of xCraft, is also the CEO of Kochava. They both came on the show with strong numbers, and a strong presentation. They seem well spoken and level-headed, they even seem to know the business world pretty well. Claiming they did not want “Early VC guys” and preferred more “Operational and hand on’s investor” that cared more than just making a quick buck and I know I could be that type of investor.

The biggest reason I would invest in xCraft is the sheer potential of the emerging market. xCraft still has time to become of the major players in the drone businesses. While investing in an emerging market can be risky. It can also have huge rewards. Drones are starting to rise in popularity, we see them being implemented in everything from YouTube videos, to even being used to ship products to your home with Amazon. If my investment with xCraft can lead the company to being pioneers in Drone Business then I will happily lend them $300,000 and that’s why I’m

    SUBJECT: High Technology Bar Top Recommendation The problem here is to figure out a method of generating revenue from this high technology bar top. Another issue is if Jonathan was to borrow money from his parents, he would have to repay the loan within 7 months. This means he has to find a way of generating cash flow relatively quickly in order to repay his parents which would influence the recommendation. My recommendation is to sell the idea to local clubs and eventually expand into more markets in the future.…

    Questions for discussion: 1. What do you think an alternative diagnosis might be given for a child with ODD-mild, who only shows symptoms at school? Simultaneously a therapist classifying a client under the disruptive, impulsive-control, and conduct disorder category, should initially eliminate the possibility of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Symptomatically, individuals who suffer from Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) or ADHD diagnostically could overlap, making it at times, difficult to distinguish the two disorders (e.g. impulsivity, frequent outburst, lack of self-control of emotions and behaviors).…
