I’ve been meaning to write this blog entry since the end of March, when Smart Office Energy Solutions closed our seed fundraising round. However, due to the intricacies of international wire transfers, it wasn’t until the end of May that we fully received all of the funds that had been committed. Now, with that checkedContinue reading “Fundraising”

An Early Win
As many of you know by now, I have stepped full time into founding a US-based green technology company, enistic. US businesses spend over $9b each year on energy for office equipment–$1b of which is for equipment that isn’t even in use. enistic reduces office equipment energy consumption 20+% with wirelessly monitored power strips thatContinue reading “An Early Win”

As I sat watching theContinue reading “Jurassic IMD”

In Entrepreneurship we have been studying cases of social entrepreneurs, startups that help people and/orContinue reading “Sustainability”
Entrepreneurship
Most of my posts so far have been about extracurricular life. Perhaps this is because I spend so much of my time thinking about school so it is tempting to write about other subjects during my free time. This post, however, is devoted to one of our courses: entrepreneurship. Our professor is Benoît Leleux, aContinue reading “Entrepreneurship”
