iGate, a dynamic startup, is poised to disrupt the driveway gate industry with an innovative solution designed to address several critical issues. Our proposed venture centers on creating an affordable DIY modular driveway gate, addressing Problem 1 by allowing users to control and monitor it effortlessly through both a smartphone app and a desktop application. This user-friendly approach transforms traditional driveway gate management, making it convenient and accessible to everyone. What sets iGate apart is our commitment to sustainability, emphasizing biodegradable and compostable PLA polymers in the gate’s construction, effectively tackling Problem 2. By using PLA polymers, we not only contribute to a greener environment but also substantially reduce maintenance costs, as highlighted in Problem 3. This aligns with our vision of providing an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for homeowners. Our startup’s focus on modularity is another game-changer. The unique design makes the gate lightweight and easy to transport, addressing Problem 4. Customers can swiftly assemble it, minimizing installation time and costs. This innovative approach caters to the demands of modern living and convenience, ensuring that our gate seamlessly integrates into various lifestyles. Market research further underscores the potential of our startup. A whopping 95% of interviewees expressed a willingness to invest between $1000-$1500 in our DIY driveway gate, reaffirming its appeal and affordability. With 53.6% of all dwelling types in Canada being single-detached houses and 90% of interviewees expecting modern automated gates to cost over $3,000, our solution stands out as a cost-effective and accessible alternative. Moreover, based on our research, 60% of interviewees expressed a desire to have driveway gates or update their existing ones, highlighting a significant demand for our innovative product. In British Columbia alone, where 830,000 residents live in single-detached houses, the market potential is substantial. iGate is on the verge of revolutionizing the driveway gate industry by combining affordability, sustainability, and user-friendliness in a single, groundbreaking solution.
