Hello there I'm Mara, from Rome.

Since I discover and read fastlane and unscripted I started questioning myself about what people needs I would have fulfilled to start my trip to wealth and eternal glory. Of course in 3 months I did nothing.

Last week, coming back walking from the supermarket with 2 six packed plastic bottles under 32 degrees sun I realized that:

  1. I hate farmer carry with bottles.
  2. Plastic bottles are poisoning our planet
  3. Italy is the first consumer in Europe of plastic bottles with 8 billion for year.
  4. Some people don't want/can't drink faucet water for medical/taste/diet reason.

So I started looking for services that deliver water source in glass bottles at home and with the next order take back the empty bottles.
I found less than 10 services and

  1. No one of them serves Rome zone
  2. Just one of or two have a decent site (not abandoned in the early 2010) with basket for easy order.
  3. Delivery time is between 2 and 5 days.

Now the "yes yes, but" part

  1. There are not competitors because I had a wonderful and absolute new idea or there is not a market? Maybe people is just not interested in a eco-friendly water home delivery service.
  2. I would like to reuse the bottles. Some years ago was issued a law to regulate recycling of glass bottles. It states that a bottle can be use max 10 times but say nothing (or maybe I found nothing) about how the bottle must be treated to be able to recycle them.

Maybe I can solve #2 doubt just calling competitors and asking for infos about their system, but how can I test the interest in my idea with a low budget (around 2-3k euros)?
