Picking up a little street cred
Filed Under public relations
Today, we received our first award. Well its not like a real award, and its not a huge deal, but hey we’ll take whatever we can get right?
This afternoon Event Seek was selected as a semi-finalist for the Georgia Business Launch Competition. Of the 90 or so companies that applied to the competition, we were chosen as one of the top 15. To those of you who voted for our video, my most sincere thanks! Amazingly, we weren’t one of the top two videos receiving votes for the competition, so as it turns out, our application stood on its own *ahem* merits.
We’ll be presenting our plan to a team of distinguished Atlanta judges next Friday at 7:45 am. Many of you know that I’m not a morning person so I have a feeling I’ll have to get up early and drink a red bull or two, but you can bet I’ll be there pretty psyched to present. Neither Tristan or I are veterans at this, so just being invited to present is pretty exciting. Did I mention that the judges are definitely connected to money and influence around Atlanta? I guess I’ll have to get my suit pressed and wear my power tie…
We’ve slimmed the presentation down to just a few slides that really hit our critical points, so hopefully our passion and excitement can shine through. If anyone wants to see the slides, feel free to shoot me an email and I’ll be happy to share.
Keep your eyes open for future updates on our progress. I’d love nothing more than for Event Seek to make it to the finals, but really I just want to put together a good showing for our small company, investors, and all the friends supporting us along the way.
Oh and if today wasn’t good enough already, we’ve managed to bring in another investor to the team. You know who you are (I don’t think its good to name drop in a blog), and I couldn’t be happier that you’re with us.
Back to making pretty slides…
