19A – Idea Napkin No. 2


You: My name is Maha Rehman and I am an international student from Pakistan. I am currently in my third year at University of Florida, studying finance. Some of talents are time management, marketing skills, the ability to lead as well as work together in a team and problem-solving skills. My aspirations are to complete the CFA exam and establish a non-for-profit organization school in my country. The business I plan on establishing will give students more variety and the ability to make better healthy food choices.


What are you offering to customers: A lot of students I have met with have a problem with snack items that are stored in vending machines. My service is starting a healthy cafe which has a diverse healthy menu from all cultures, packing it in proper environment friendly containers and storing them in temp controlled vending machines that will maintain the freshness of the food.



Who are you offering it to? My product is for high school and college students from ages 15-25 and to fulfill their nutritional needs. They are going to be those students who are on a strict budget, have a hectic schedule and hence don’t have time to stand in the long lines of the food court.



Why do they care: They care because students are more woke now when it comes to fitness and fulfilling their nutritional needs and leading a healthy lifestyle.



What are you core competencies? What sets me apart is my vision and dedication and the ability to pull this off. I am goal driven and motivated and because I have personally struggled with a problem of finding healthy items in vending machines that aren’t insanely priced and actually loaded with all the beneficial nutrients, I really want to see an end to this problem. My main priority isn’t making money but satisfying the needs of college students and ultimately try to promote a healthier environment on campus.



Overall, the five elements work really well together almost like a flow. By starting off with a personal struggle and seeing how so many students relate to the problem, it was easy to connect the dots and come up with a solution for it. College students lead hectic and tough life and if they don’t take care of their health and are not getting nutritional benefits from food items, then they are more prone to sickness which will effect their productivity in the long run
