Things have been pretty exciting around the office lately with development picking up speed, preparing for the business launch semi-finals, and the general mood that comes with hitting milestones. The thing that I’m most excited about right now however, is the addition of the air-mattress.
I brought it in a week or two ago because it was just taking up space in my house and we’re certainly not hurting for storage in the office (tends to happen when you work in a Uhaul). I’ve taken a few cat naps on it thus far, usually about 10-15 minutes in length, but generally just enough to close my eyes and get back to work. As I’m writing this post, I’m basically counting the words until I can go crash on that plush gray pillow and sleep for the next hour.
As many of you know we’ve been preparing for the semi-final round of the Georgia Business Launch Competition. This week has been hectic as I’ve worked to make sure we were bringing the right set of materials, knew what we wanted to say, and were going to be showing off our A game. As a result, I haven’t spent much time outside of the office or slept any normal person’s sleeping patterns.
At 8:00AM this morning we presented to a panel of distinguished judges. Seriously, this group was full of powerful, thoughtful, entrepreneurial, I-eat-pieces-of-shit-like-you-for-breakfast investors. Tristan and I were bright-eyed and busy-tailed and put together what I thought was actually a solid presentation. The judges asked excellent and difficult questions and we tacked each one to the best of our ability. I’m thrilled to say that the presentation and Q&A went off without a hitch and I think we have a real shot at making the final 4 groups.
Are the odds against us? Sure. Is our idea better than everyone elses? Of course. will the judges agree with me? Who knows. I can say this for sure though: I’m off to take what I believe is a well deserved nap.
Somebody set an alarm…
