In my recent Dragon’s Den presentation, I got some feedback that really got me thinking about the bigger picture for my project. One of the dragons mentioned that she loved the concept, especially because she does a similar mental rehearsal exercise with her daughter, who sometimes feels anxious before social gatherings. She said she could actually see my project helping a much wider audience, not just gamers. At the same time, she appreciated that I was starting with a specific focus, targeting socially anxious gamers first to really refine the tool.
This feedback really stuck with me. Hearing that someone uses mental rehearsal in their own life made me realize the potential impact my project could have outside of gaming. It’s encouraging to know the idea resonates with others and has relevance beyond the niche I’d originally planned for. I’m starting to think about how, further down the road, I could adapt this to support anyone who struggles with social anxiety in different situations, and not just the gaming community.
This Dragon’s feedback was a great reminder that sometimes a project’s potential goes beyond what you first imagine. I will definitely keep this broader application in mind as I continue to develop and test the tool.
very interesting.
