8 reasons Niloofar Abbasvandi and I were delighted to have been chosen to participate in the Accelerator Centre‘s Studio Program.
1) People like Stephanie Jenner! Even when she was having a really stressful day she still has a 100 watt smile to greet people!
2) Great mentors like Kevin Hood, Kevin Elop, Ellyn Winters-Robinson APR, Melissa Durrell, Don Thompson, Jackie Lauer, Robert Farnham, Hannah Lau, Ellyn Winters-Robinson APR, Bob Mathers, Tony Brijpaul
3) The Cora Group‘s wonderful Evolv1 building which houses the TD Sustainable Future Lab which we joined over a year ago.
4) That we are monitoring the building’s solar PV system, which has been great to show customer and contacts up close what we do and makes it Canada’s leading zero carbon building.
5) Great related organizations like Sustainable Waterloo Region lead by the amazing Tova Davidson we met yesterday and Wilfrid Laurier University one of our customers.
6) Opportunities to meet other founders like Henrique Bilbao and his father who was visiting from Brazil. Allowed me yesterday to do an impromptu pitch with Henrique translating as we talked about opportunities in Brazil!
7) Social opportunities like the one Stephanie organized yesterday which gave me the opportunity to meet Vivek Katiyar and have a side conversation about patents.
8) Their encouragement to never give up and believing in our dream to help create a more just, sustainable future for everyone.
In our company we talk about finding people who care that the solar projects we are building perform up to their true potential. We are committed to helping find and address the problem of rapidly growing hidden losses that too many people are unaware of. We believe that Studio program will help us achieve that goal!
