Ignite Clean Energy

I've spent most of the weekend working on our presentation for Ignite Clean Energy business plan competition. The final competition is on Tuesday night. We're competing with nine other teams for a grand prize of... who knows how much. It doesn't really matter. I've already learned so much through this process that even if we don't win anything on Tuesday, we'll all be better off after going through this entire process. I have to say, we've developed a nice little business plan (considering that it all started with a few half-baked ideas just 3 months ago). Our team has put on a tremendous effort including in-depth market research, meetings with potential business partners, marathon brainstorming sessions, financial analysis, practice pitches, etc. Along the way we've done a lot of organizational soul searching and got to know each other pretty well. If we win anything, we may even incorporate and attempt to start a new business. If we don't win anything, well..., the fond memories will remain. I found this picture of our team on the Ignite web site.
