On Saturday, April 14th, the William James Foundation will present our first annual "Green Grab" where Renewable Energy and Clean Technology companies will make short presentations to a panel of accredited investors. The investors are prepared to commit up to $25,000 each on the spot.
No guarantee of an investment is made, and it is possible that no investments will be made. A standard equity investment document will be offered, where the only variables will be the amount of the investment and the amount of the company that the investment is worth.
There will be six to eight presenters. Some will be chosen from the finalists of the Stiefel Family Foundation Clean Tech Prize, The Foundation for a Sustainable Future Prize, and the Carbon War Room Prize. (Assuming they are otherwise qualified to present.)
One of them will be the winner of the Launcht/WJF Greengrab crowd funding competition. We want you to show us that people believe in your idea and are willing to put money behind their confidence in your venture. For more information on this, visit http://greengrab.launcht.com/getstartednow.
The others will be selected by the William James Foundation, and need not be current or past entrants into the foundation. All interested applicants should email a two page summary of their company (Gust.com format preferred) to compe...@williamjamesfoundation.org by March 15th, 2012.
All entrants must make clear in their summary that they meet the following criteria:
