We are quite excited to be selected as finalists for the California Clean Tech Open (CCTO) Green Building Category. The CCTO is a contest for small startups to compete for $100k in cash and prizes and along the way get expert advice on writing business plans and pitching ideas to angels and venture capitalists. Basically, it’s a way to get startups out of the gate a lot faster. Today, we received free legal advice from WSGR, one of the most prestige law firms in the bay area, as well as some free public relations advice from Zing PR, who among other things encouraged us to start this blog. Both sessions were extremely useful. While we want to win our category, we don’t have to win the prize to be successful. Being a finalist in CCTO is a bit like being a finalist on American Idol, but instead of a recording contract we are after angel funding. More on CCTO to come, but if you are interested in developing green technology I would strongly recommend you apply next year.
