Samantha | Application Preview
Samantha is applying for a government grant to support the growth of her online business. She plans to use the funds to purchase inventory for resale, as she currently lacks the financial means to invest in products. Her long-term vision includes expanding her online selling platforms, hiring one or two employees, and acquiring improved printing and shipping equipment.
Her motivation is both entrepreneurial and personal—she wants to build a sustainable business that can provide long-term security for her children. Samantha believes she should be approved for funding because she's confident, driven, and committed to making her business a success, but needs financial support to get there.
She identifies platforms like OfferUp and eBay as her main competitors. What sets her apart is her compassionate approach to customers; she's willing to help those in need even if it means offering products for free, as long as it doesn't jeopardize her financial stability. This personal, relationship-based approach is a key part of her competitive advantage.
