Entrepreneurship Post



After many hours of researching and thinking of an entrepreneurial idea that I should create, I thought of an app. An app that keeps your drivers license within your fingertips at all times. Whenever you go out the app will be there. For example, lets say a parent has to rush and pick their child up from school, but unknowingly he/she accidentally leaves their ID. So while driving, he/she begins to speed and gets pulled over. Instead of panicking at a moment like this, the problem was easily resolved simply by pulling out a smartphone, and opening Li2go.

License to go, (Li2go) will read the information on your card and copy your picture ID exactly the same. Everything from the date of birth and face will be displayed on the screen. The same tool the IPhone currently uses to swipe credit cards and make transactions with, swiping your license will be just as easy. In order to prevent counterfeiting, only two cards will be allowed to swipe on one phone. Also the picture of the person will be displayed on the smartphone screen, so you clearly have to look like the person on card. When uploading the information from license to the phone, a notification will notify the user that the process is complete, the ID is registered, and the app is ready for use.

Just think about it. Never again will you have to leave the house forget your license and turn back around to pick it up. Many people find it a hassle to carry around a card just to make a quick errand or go anywhere in general.  Having this app also prevents you from loosing your driver’s license then to turn around and wait in a long DMV line. Li2go is the new revolutionary twenty-first century application that will solve this problem.

  1. The app Li2Go sounds like a very helpful app. I think a good idea for this app to prevent counterfeiting is only having one driver's license scanned to one phone at a time. So for example, the same driver's license cannot be registered to two phones at the same time. Other than that, sounds like a very useful app that I would use!

  2. The first thing that comes to my mind is what happens if I lose my phone or someone steals it. This idea is really possible but will need to have a lot of security and reassurance to consumers that their identity will be safe. With today's technology as shown in class it is very easy to access important information on someone. Another issue I see is with fake ids or the ability to verify age especially in college areas. Many businesses will scan your id to make sure it is real and valid. Keep tweaking this and it could turn into something amazing.

  3. Li2Go sounds very useful if you didn't have to carry a hard copy of your license. Somehow if you were able to I think this app would get big because people really do forget their license all the time and to get a ticket on top of a speeding ticket really sucks. If this app is possible I would definitely use it!
