CollabSpace – Easy Group Project Manager for Students
---
1. Problem
Group projects in college are messy.
Students forget deadlines, and task distribution is uneven.
Coordination happens across WhatsApp/Discord, making tracking impossible.
One or two students usually carry the group → unfair workload.
Professors have no clear way to see individual contributions.
---
2. Solution
CollabSpace: A simple, student-friendly project manager.
Splits tasks fairly among members.
Auto-reminders keep everyone on track.
Tracks contributions in real-time, giving professors visibility.
Fun “streaks” feature to motivate accountability.
Lightweight, fast, and less “corporate” than Trello/Asana.
---
3. Product Features
Task Board (Kanban style) – simplified for student use.
Auto Task Splitting – assign tasks equally with one click.
Deadline Reminders – push notifications + email.
Contribution Tracking – logs completed tasks, edits, submissions.
Professor Dashboard – see each member’s effort.
Streaks & Rewards – gamified accountability.

4. Why Now
Students are increasingly working on group projects (especially in online/hybrid learning).
Existing tools (Trello, Asana, Jira) are too complex or business-focused.
Gen-Z students want lightweight, mobile-first, and fun apps.
Professors are asking for better visibility into group work.

5. Market
Primary: College/university students (300M+ globally).
Secondary: Educators and universities adopting collaboration tools.
Market trend: EdTech + productivity apps are growing fast, especially post-COVID.
---
6. Competitive Landscape
Trello/Asana: Too corporate, overwhelming.
WhatsApp/Discord: Good for chat, poor for project tracking.
CollabSpace: Built only for students — simple, fair, fun, transparent.
---
7. Business Model
Free plan: Core features for students.
Premium ($2–5/student/semester): Advanced analytics, export reports, professor dashboards.
Institution licensing: Sell to universities for class-wide adoption.
---
8. Traction / Validation (Future Roadmap)
Prototype ready for internal testing.
Early users: classmates in CSE projects.
Positive feedback: “Finally, a tool that feels like it’s made for us.”
Plan: Beta launch in campus → expand to other colleges → scale.
---
9. Why Me / Team
Experienced group project pain first-hand in CSE.
Tech background → can build MVP quickly.
Passionate about fairness, productivity, and student tools.
---
10. Vision
CollabSpace will become the go-to app for student teamwork.
From class projects → to hackathons → to clubs and competitions.
Eventually scale into a global student collaboration network.
