2021 High School Utah Entrepreneur Challenge finalists

1. Jesperson Inc.
A sonar producing device that allows the blind to maneuver
without the use of a cane.

2. Description of Business Idea
Jesperson Inc. Strives to producing devices to aid those with disabilities. Much of the time those with disabilities are
left to improvise solutions to their problems, Jesperson inc. attempts to aid in any way we can. with the hope of
providing the best life possible to everyone. In the last few years we have seen rapid developments in technology
and we would like to apply these breakthroughs to aiding those who need it most.

3. Problem
The visually impaired have been using canes for centuries. The answer as to why is simple- they are sufficient. Canes
allow them to move around our world. It just so happens there is one glaring problem with canes, they only guard
the user up to the hip level, and it is commonly reported that those who use them develop arthritis in their wrist
from waving the cane back and forth.

4. Solution
The Bat Hat is a sonar producing device which aids in movement, around our ever changing world, for those who
are visually impaired. The device is implemented into a baseball cap so that it is directional to where the user is
facing. Unlike canes, this device works passively while maneuvering. The device also allows for the user to use both
hands simultaneously.

5. Market
Currently there is nothing on the market like The Bat Hat, the only alternative is a cane. As explored earlier, a cane is
no where as useful as The Bat Hat. I predict there will soon be a mass amount of products on the market aimed at
aiding those with disabilities. Until that time though, the bat hat is the only competitor.
