Proposed Company's Business Idea
The web pervades every aspect of our lives. Conversations that used to happen in the physical world are now permanently captured on the web. Employers, first dates, business partners, friends, clients and recruiters are Googling you. Your future is often determined by what they find.

What a hiring manager finds when looking you up in Google can determine whether or not you get cut on the spot. This second cut saves companies time and money. In a competitive job market made worse by today`s economic crisis, applicants can no longer leave their online image to chance.

Brand-Yourself.com makes it easy for job applicants to diagnose, improve and monitor how they are perceived online. Perception is today's currency. Our tools help users establish a position of power in the job hunt by creating a clean, visible, and compelling web presence, landing them jobs that inspire their passion and productivity.

Proposed Company's Business Idea
It is convenient, private, individual, and portable. Today's youth have grown up with thinking there is no other way to consume it. Stores on every street corner are selling it and making over 60 percent profits on it. Bottled water has become a staple in today's society and has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry. The expenses incurred from the manufacturing, transporting and disposing of bottles used in bottled water are astronomical. Fossil fuels are not only used in the packaging of bottled water, but also in the shipment. Bottled water is producing not only an increased environmental concern, but is also costing Americans millions of dollars on water that is convenient.

The solution to this problem is convenient water purifying stations. Using local water supply, tap water is converted into cold, refreshing filtered water. Customers can use these stations to refill their aluminum reusable water bottles for a small fee. Scanning your membership card automatically adds the amount to your bill. No membership card? No problem. You can effortlessly sign up at the touch of a button. Forgot your refillable water container? No problem. Aluminum water bottles are available to purchase for a deposit fee. The aluminum water containers are returnable and you receive a portion of the deposit back.

In cosmopolitan cities, a popular trend originated by the "hipster" youth of riding fixed-gear, single speed bikes has emerged. These rare bicycles are usually built piece by piece, with parts traditionally imported. Once a bike is finished, it will total an average amount that most can't afford.

Sole Bicyles will be the first mainstream provider of affordable, fully built, fixed-gear bikes, selling them through e-commerce, then shipping them directly to the consumer's door. We solve the pain for people who want these awesome track bikes, yet simply can not afford to buy one, or don't have the resources to custom-build one.

Sole Bicycles' mission is to be an innovative provider of fixed-gear bicycles, serving as the tipping point to bring a hip, socially responsible trend mainstream by offering the most competitive, fair prices, ease of purchase, all for the utmost in supreme, quality products.

Proposed Company's Business Idea
The Flux Co. is a crowd curating, fine art, socially responsible business venture that sells artist-inspired printed apparel. Our focus is to collaborate with artists globally in order to design a collection of original fine art printed apparel and accessories that resonate within the art community and provide a venue for quality and fashion. At present, inefficiencies exist in the local art markets, as talented artists relocate after learning from top-tier art institutions. Respected art critics and curators simply do not have the time to view the images and portfolios of the many artists, particularly the younger artists who have not yet built reputations for themselves.

This online community will crowdsource the best images rated out of popular opinion. These images will be assessed by a respected board of art critics and ultimately be printed on limited-edition apparel, starting with t-shirts, messenger bags and tote bags.

Our mission is to advocate for global creativity through working with leading new artists to generate and curate limited-edition wearable art.
