And the rest of the world stays dark; waiting for my focus to return. I spin my light daily; focusing on the day job, the family and the other more immediate requirements. But sometimes I can squeeze out a bit of time for my dreams & visions for the future.
So while I'm not always consistent about posting to this space - that doesn't mean I'm not still working on the goal. The hazard of being a one-person blog is sometimes posts can be a bit 'bursty'. Bear with me; I've got good stuff coming.
I've recently submitted to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) business plan competition. They chose 38 companies to present before a panel of investors - obviously it's a plea for money and a way to get your name out there. I did this before, in kind of a practice run with the MIT competition earlier this year. Obviously I wasn't selected; but the experience of codifying a business plan out of the stuff of this blog was enlightening. A bit of refinement and a lot more research and I've come up with a two page masterpiece of wishful thinking; market analysis; good ideas and guesswork. Aka - a typical business plan for a startup.
MIT had restrictions on who could view the submission. I wasn't allowed to share it with anyone outside the competition. I dug through the NREL site and didn't find any kind of restriction like that this time so I'm posting my 2 page executive summary that was submitted. I'm also going to take advantage of my ability to use more than two pages to dissect certain areas of the plan; put links to supporting documents; information and other research.
So... On with the show:
