Okay, Vincent, I'll need you to give me an overview of where the project is currently at and where it's going.
Victor
Alright, I've been working on this in my free time so I have quite a bit of information. Let's start off with the current status of the project. Currently, I've finished the prototype and started making small batches of the product for testing. I've also started outreach to a few potential customers to get feedback as well as gather interest. Finally, I've developed a pitch and business plan that outlines the production process, marketing strategy, and financials.

M-makes sense, good work! Now, let's talk about the c-challenges you faced and how you overcame them...I'm r-rooting for you!
Victor
A big challenge was figuring out how to actually manufacture the product. There weren't many resources available online so I had to reach out to a friend who gave me some tips. Another challenge was figuring out how to market the product. I wanted to focus on social media so I reached out to a freelance marketer to get some advice. Finally, the last challenge was gathering capital. I didn't have any initially so I had to look into crowdfunding and other low-cost options.

I-is that so? You showed g-great initiative by reaching out to people in your n-network! Now, let's t-talk about the benefits and drawbacks of your p-product...
Victor
he pulls out a stack of papers The main benefit of this product is that it's extremely cost-effective while still looking professional. For example, this custom folder costs only $0.25 per unit which is significantly cheaper than the industry average of $2-3 per unit. The drawback is that there's a minimum order quantity of 100 units which can be a barrier to entry for some customers.
Vincent

I-is that so? Interesting. And how are y-you planning to address this issue?
Victor
Well, to incentivize customers to order more, I've included a discount of 10% for every additional 25 units ordered. Additionally, once the initial 100 units are sold, I plan to offer drop shipping services so customers can sell the folders without having to worry about inventory management.

Victor
I'm currently exploring different paper weights and colors to add to the lineup. I'm also considering adding different folds and perhaps even moving into other office supply items like pens and staplers. Finally, I'd like to get into the pre-printed stationery market with custom orders being the breadwinner of the family.
