While I admire the drive you have for creating a great backpack, IMO unfortunately you're a bit late for this, at least in my area.
Kids these days in the NYC and tri state area only carry around paper/pencil if they are into analog art, and that is dying out too. All they really need is a laptop, power supply, and lunch.
It really doesn't matter if their backpack can stand upright, or has all those compartments or fancy straps. A $60 fjallraven kanken backpack is lightweight, waterproof, ergonomic, and can hold a laptop, power supply, and food.
In any case I hope I'm wrong and wish you success.

$85 to UWS from LGA is ridiculous. If I am travelling alone, I always use Lyft share. I just checked and it is $30 from LGA to the Arthouse Hotel in UWS. I've lived in NYC since the 90s and haven't used a yellow cab in decades.

I usually save it to pepper between mid december and after new years to get a full 21 days off, airbnb my apartment, and fuck off to a tropical island with my buddies.
Hasn't failed me in the slightest thus far.

If you order enough IKEA shit to completely furnish your entire house and it magically all appears in boxes that you have to put together you would have to...ahh forget it, Just get a HD, you can get a 14 TB for like 80 bucks, bro.

If you want to do things legit, you can take the 5 minutes to set up a business online and use that TAX ID # to register for a membership at your local restaurant supply store.
What you really want is to be listed as an employee at a bar and issued a card, so you can get a case of 12x 1 liter bottles of liquor for 80 bucks with that liquor license.
Unless I'm throwing a party, I can't eat/shuck 50 lbs of oysters no matter how cheap they are lol.

I've had mine for about a decade, and although the color has faded, it still works perfectly.
I also like how if you go for a hike and it gets dirty you can just throw it in the wash.
Also it completely flattens when empty so when you are on a train you don't need to take it off and can sink right back into the seat.
Maybe I'm the wrong demographic for the type of backpack this guy is advertising, but even if gifted one, it would never ever get used, and would be hard to give away.
I think the only real thing going is the fashion and customizable bit to show off to friends, but around here, pulling a M2 Max out of the bag kinda fills that role.
