Selection Process

We started our initial search by brainstorming potential markets and narrowed our list down to four markets that interested us most: Sports & Health, Renewable Energy, Food & Beverage, and Campus Services. 

Next, we identified several stakeholders for each market. Once identified, we reached out to interview potential stakeholders. We successfully conducted four stakeholder interviews across three markets:

  • Grant Christie: Food & Beverage
  • Noel Anderson: Renewable Energy
  • Josh Parr: Food & Beverage/Campus Services
  • Chris Nichols: Renewable Energy

We took thorough notes from all four interviews to review afterward. Once our team debriefed and went through the notes, we narrowed down our target market based on complexity, feasibility, and overall interest. We selected our final market with a team vote and decided on a combination of two markets: food & beverage and streamlining campus services.
