What purpose does your product/company serve and what problem is it looking to solve?

“The purpose of our product is to supply dependable chargers to anyone who may need one.”

Why did your group decide to go with this business idea?

“My group decided on chargers because right now, in high school, many students rely on a device, so Mag-Charge can support that reliability and provide chargers.”

Why do you think your product will be appealing to the student body in general?

“I believe Mag-Charge will appeal to the student body because everyone needs a charger, so why not a reliable one?”

How did you come up with the name?

“Mag is the shortened version of the word magnetic. The dash represents a charger in use as if the words are a charging port and a device. Charge is the shortened version of the word charger.”

How can people hear about you and buy from you?

“People can see our company posters around school and scan the barcode to see our prices on the website that the barcode will lead you to.”

What will you be doing with your profits? Is there an organization you plan to donate a percentage of your profits to?

“Mag-Charge will be donating 7 percent of the profit made to the Kent County Humane Society.”
