AlligatorZone® is where kids meet cool startups. We put out a (usually) monthly newsletter, viz., the AlligatorZone Almanac. We are going to try housing the content of the newsletter at Medium to make it easier for people to read and share it. The newsletter will point to this blog, allowing for shorter newsletters. Each segment of the Almanac (such as ‘As Seen At AlligatorZone’) will be a separate post which will allow us to attempt a weekly newsletter pointing to this blog. Hope you like this paced approach.
What our youngsters can learn from the startups featured in Tampa this month, viz., Global Safety Management and WeCraftBox.
Here’s what kids can learn from observing AlligatorZone’s product show-and-tell by the founders of startups being featured this month.
On Saturday, March 24, 2018 in Tampa Bay, Florida (parents sign up here):
Julia MacGregor, MS MBA, President and CEO, Global Safety Management will be presenting her startup to youngsters first.
Kids will have an opportunity to have a conversation, in very simple terms to understand how software helps process manufacturing, the industrial use of chemicals, and how being methodical can not only be a habit keeps people safe in everyday use of chemicals — but also a life-skill.
We also believe that seeing woman leaders making the world better sends a positive message to our daughters.
Betsy Wild, Founder and CEO, We Craft Box will also be presenting her startup in Tampa Bay on March 24, 2018.
From Betsy, the youngsters will learn that if they are facing a problem, it is very likely that there are others who are facing the same problem, and if they they can come up with a solution, it may serve a lot of other people. They will also learn that humans are creatures of habit, and one way to sell a product that spreads happiness is to make its use a habit and include an element of surprise — because we seem to love the anticipation of opening a box.
