Investor interest

I should also add that while the blog's been a bit quiet, we did our first investor pitch. The investor is a big name Business Angel who has founded one of the most popular websites in Spain, which is a market leader at the European level. He really liked the idea, and we're working on some changes he suggested to the business plan. We'll keep you updated...

Our video

Well I've just seen 36 clicks in 3 hours for our "last chance to see" of our video on The Good Entrepreneur, as I assume they'll take it down soon after the grand finale tonight. So thank you all for your support, it'll take us a bit longer given that we didn't win the competition, but we're still very much going and talking to investors. We're also scouring the national and international markets for any grants we might get (also helps us get equity investment as well, of course).

Anyway, for those of you who haven't seen our 1-minute Good Entrepreneur video (you must have been living on the moon for all my posts to have missed you), here's the link.

Yes, those spots on my face are real (thanks Mark for pointing that out).

The blog is back!

Ok, I know, I know. A blog is a discipline that you have to do regularly. But it's been a mad month. Now, here's a thought from Trendwatching, an excellent site for predicting what's going to be big, and guess what they said about sustainability in their top 10 issues for 2010? That we've got to make it easy for people to be green. At the moment it's all too complicated and that's turning off consumers.

Now I don't want to make a big deal of it, but that's what we've been saying for the last two years. In fact, it's the basis of our business model. Anyway check out the article for yourself here.

It's great to be back.
