Jordi: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to today's virtual meeting. Thank you for joining me as
we embark on this exciting journey to plan our startup business. Let's introduce ourselves and briefly

financial aspects of our startup.
Alief: Thank you, Nahli. I’m Alief, an assistant financial analyst, here I’m helping Nahli to detailing
financial strategies of our startup.
Jordi: Excellent. It's a well-rounded team, and I'm thrilled to have each of you on board. Let's begin
by discussing the purpose and vision of our startup. What problem are we solving, and what do we
hope to achieve?
Denis: Our startup aims to revolutionize the online grocery shopping experience by providing a
convenient and personalized platform for customers to order groceries and have them delivered to
their doorstep.
Robin: Agreed, Denis. We want to streamline the process, enhance customer satisfaction, and create
a reliable and efficient supply chain to ensure timely deliveries.
Nahli: From a financial perspective, we should focus on achieving profitability and sustainable growth
while managing our resources effectively.
Jordi: Fantastic. Now, let's move on to market research. Denis, can you share your findings on the
current state of the online grocery industry and our potential target market?
Denis: Absolutely, Jordi. After conducting extensive market research, we've identified that the online
grocery market is growing rapidly, with a significant shift in consumer behavior. Our target market
consists of urban dwellers, busy professionals, and tech-savvy individuals who value convenience and
time-saving solutions.
Robin: That aligns with our vision. To provide a seamless grocery delivery service, we'll need to
establish partnerships with local supermarkets and optimize our logistics network for quick and
efficient deliveries.
Alief: From a financial standpoint, we need to carefully analyze the costs involved in setting up the
infrastructure, acquiring inventory, and running the operations. I'll work on creating a comprehensive
financial plan to guide our decision-making.
Jordi: Thank you, Nahli. It's essential to have a clear understanding of the financial implications. Now,
let's discuss our next steps. Denis, what are your recommendations for marketing and customer
acquisition strategies?
Denis: Based on our target market, we should focus on digital marketing channels such as social
media advertising, influencer collaborations, and search engine optimization to raise awareness and
attract customers. Personalized promotions and referral programs can also help drive customer
acquisition and retention.
Robin: That sounds like a solid plan, Denis. I'll collaborate with you to establish partnerships with
local supermarkets and develop efficient supply chain management strategies to ensure seamless
order fulfillment.
Nahli: As we develop the operational and marketing plans, it's crucial to closely monitor the financial
performance. I'll continue to refine the financial projections and create a detailed budget that aligns
with our goals.
Jordi: Excellent recommendations, team. Let's work together to create a comprehensive business
plan that incorporates our strategies, financial analysis, and operational details. We'll reconvene in
two weeks to review and finalize the business plan before taking the next steps toward launching our
startup.
Denis: Understood, Jordi. We'll collaborate closely to develop a compelling business plan and present
it to you in two weeks.
Robin: Absolutely. I'm excited to bring our operational expertise into action and make our startup a
success.
