1. Proposal
TO: Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Founders of Google
FROM: Ashley Woolcock, The Culture Factory
DATE: Jan 31, 2020
SUBJECT: A New Startup and Home to Creatives
__________________________________________________________________
Introduction
With today’s media growing at such a fast rate and the thousands of jobs opening every
day, I believe every creative should have a home to create freely. Students and children
need the place where they can escape & create, they will not only stay out of trouble, but
work on their craft for the future. This is why I plan to create the Culture Factory, a
Creative home by day, and live venue by night.
Background and Purpose
The Culture Factory is a creative space as well as a live venue. The factory will need a
large facility with many different buildings specified to its role. There will be computer
labs, office spaces, production rooms, studios, and many more for rent. One thing I have
realized is, there are little to no places that offer this opportunity. This facility will be
open to all with an annual or monthly membership. This facility will be focused to
student, children, and other creators. Finally, people in Entertainment have a home.
Proposed Plan of Action
The goal of the Culture Factory is to be retrievable and affordable for anyone. College
Students and under will have special memberships. Many creators will now have a place
to create openly and affordably. With Google on our side, students can now prepare
themselves for the industry they are trying to excel in. Children in the community will
now have a place to learn and grow outside of school. The plan is making a community
of lifelong friends and partners. Good thing, The Miami Foundation awards over $1
million in grants to nonprofits creating opportunities for residents, fostering homegrown
creativity and making Greater Miami more resilient. In 2020, the program is evolving to
expand resources for residents with diverse abilities”. This would be a great opportunity
to raise awareness and get the community involved down to creation process. This can
create jobs and assist in building a facility that represents the people.
Schedule
2. While waiting for approval, the schedule below will hold a list of events that will need to
take place before the expansion:

Company Branding
Staffing
When it comes to staffing, we want to make sure that we hire qualified, but still people
with the passion for this industry. To start, Ashley Stewart is great with Company
Branding, she’s achieved a BA and holds years of experience with many brands. Damar
Osouna would be in charge of Architecture & Construction Project Management, he has a
good eye as well as the highest level of education in his field. Alexis Roberts would be
the perfect Company Advisor & Accountant; she has been a trusted member of the
production and planning. While always ahead of our financial issues, she also can work
her magic to save efficiently. Nassir Turner would be used for Legal Affairs, he’s as good
as they get being a graduate from Harvard Law. Connie Nappier has a very important job
as the Assistant Manager, he handles all the scheduling and paperwork, but this is nothing
for the Cornell Graduate.
Budget
This is the estimated budget:
Facility Construction – $40,000
Production & Studio Equipment - $20,000
Licensing - $10,000
Salaries – $10,000
Branding & Advertisement – $5,000
Total Cost = $85,000
Authorization
As creator of The Culture Factory, the company would be so honored to have Google on
our side. The Culture Factory will like to offer half the company in return for the $85,000
investment. We are always up to discuss any changes. Please contact me by early March
