关于我们
My name is Jesiah Price, and I’m the founder and solo developer behind PRESOVA — a smart grocery management app designed to help users reduce food waste, save money, and plan smarter meals. I’m a senior at Shawnee Mission North High School and a proud DECA national qualifier, where I’ve represented PRESOVA at the state level and beyond.
As a student entrepreneur with a passion for sustainability, I’ve developed everything from PRESOVA’s branding and design to the pitch, target market strategy, and business model. I’ve also led a student volunteer group focused on environmental impact and community service.
问题
1. The Food Waste Crisis:
• 119 Billion los of food wasted annualy in the U.S.
• Environmental harm
2. Financial Impact
• $400 Billion lost nationwide
• $1,500 per household
3. Inefficient Grocery Tracking
• No easy way to track groceries
• Unnecessary purchases, expired food
解决方案
PRESOVA:
•Hands-free voice input – No typing or scanning
•Smart expiration tracking + meal suggestions – Saves food & money
•Gamified with Zovi – Encourages progress with rewards & personality
•Clean, intuitive design – More engaging than clunky competitors
Reducing Food Waste:
PRESOVA tracks grocery items and expiration dates, sending timely reminders before food spoils. The app also auto-suggests expiration dates if none are provided.
Saving Money on Groceries:
By minimizing waste, users spend less on unnecessary grocery replacements. AI- generated meal plans suggest ways to use expiring items, maximizing food usage and cutting costs.
Efficient Grocery Tracking:
Users can speak grocery items and expiration dates for easy entry. The app organizes inventory in a clear, categorized system, ensuring users always know what they have and when it expires.
目标市场
1. College Students & Young Professionals:
•Ages 18–30
•$15K-50K
•Budget-conscious & eco-aware
•Tech-savvy, organized shoppers
•Often share groceries with roommates or partners
2. Families & Working Adults:
•Family households
•$50K–$100K
•Busy parents & eco-conscious consumers
•Value convenience, sustainability, and smart tech
社会影响
PRESOVA will have a meaningful impact across several areas of society:
• Economically, it helps households save money—up to $1,500 per year—by preventing unnecessary food waste.
• Environmentally, it reduces the amount of food sent to landfills, cutting down on methane emissions and promoting more sustainable consumption.
• Culturally, it encourages a shift toward more mindful grocery habits and responsible food management, especially among younger generations.
• Quality of Life, it brings organization, ease, and peace of mind to busy individuals and families by simplifying how they track, plan, and use their groceries.
PRESOVA empowers users to make smarter everyday choices that benefit both themselves and the planet.
下一步
To move PRESOVA forward, I need financial support to develop the app’s Minimum Viable Product (MVP), that includes core features like voice input, expiration tracking, and basic user interface design. I’m also seeking mentorship and networking opportunities with professionals in app development, marketing, and sustainability to help refine the product and accelerate growth.
Additional resources like access to workspace or a tech incubator program would also be valuable for collaboration and continued progress. With these supports, PRESOVA can move from a well-developed concept into a real, functional tool that makes a lasting impact.
我们的学校和学区
While creating my pitch, it allowed me to think more deeply about my business, Presova. How I can bring it to life, what I want it to become, and the good that it can do in the world.

This was a fantastic pitch! You showed how informed you are about the market space you are entering by understanding and adding in the gamification that comes with your mascot.

Your video is grate and shows how much work you have put in to a Cotten candy business! I did get lost when reading the written submission as it covers skin care products and not cotton candy. This discrepancy made the pitch unclear but a simple update and clarification would get you back on track in no time.
