Team feedback
It was a pleasure working with the team from TSG 6! Everyone brought such positive energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to the project. We especially appreciated the quality of the deliverables—particularly the breakdown of email marketing strategies by tier and organizational role, which showed a strong understanding of relational dynamics within SaaS onboarding. While there were a few minor hiccups with scheduling and aligning with milestones, the team stayed engaged and committed to meeting a high standard of quality. Overall, it was a valuable and collaborative experience, and we're excited to apply many of the insights shared.

Working with my UVA Riipen interns was nothing short of transformative. From day one, they showed up with commitment, energy, and a willingness to roll up their sleeves and get it done — in every way and form. Each of them brought unique strengths in their respective disciplines, and together they helped elevate my business to the next level. We collaborated through ambiguity, worked across time zones and deadlines, and stayed focused on real impact. Thank you all for bearing with me through the chaos — we did what we had to do, and we made it count. Proud of what we accomplished, and even more excited for what’s ahead.

SaaS Application New User Onboarding

Based on an understanding of application functionality and on user experience design and testing, design and create a new user onboarding experience for TaskTrain, consisting of: In-application onboarding sequences including text and brief video clips to introduce them to essential application functionality. A "drip" email campaign for new registrants to help them understand the value and use of the application. The objective of this onboarding experience is to ensure new users understand both the value and use of TaskTrain, a simple process management SaaS application designed for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as the best practices behind its design, increasing the likelihood that the registrants activate as product users and eventually become paying customers.

Financial Business Plan

We are excited to be launching a new business, (name of business and brief description of what the company will do). With any launch, having a financial plan is one of the keys to success, and we would like to involve students in creating one for our new venture. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Learning about our business strategy from various employees to become familiar with our goals, mission, and products. Creating forecasts using Excel (or another financial software) for sales in the first year of operation as well as an income projection (conservative and aggressive). Working with our team to develop an expense budget. Conducting a break-even analysis timeline using financial projections. Reporting on projected assets and liabilities. Including visual comparisons such as graphs and charts to show the differences between the conservative and aggressive income projection.
