John,

Thank you so much! I will share the news with the team and we will celebrate tonight.

We look forward to working together this summer. We are really excited about our product and believe it will have the potential to create value for growers as well as third parties in agriculture.

Best,
kerem

Hi Kerem -

I spoke to the guys and everyone is fine with this.  We look forward to having Farmulate participate in the program.  Glad to hear office space wont be an issue for you guys and we will hopefully see you around at the events.  There is a free conference room that you guys are free to share with others should you need it.

Thanks for working through everything with us.

Best,

John

John,

I can't describe to you what you are doing means to me and the farmulate! team. It is a huge lesson for me (and the team) and if you think it's necessary, I think I am willing to communicate the situation with Nest. It will be burning bridges and I'd hate to do this to them because demand response is a huge growth opportunity for the company and I will be leading those efforts over the next few weeks, but farmulate! has been the world to me and our team for the past 3-4 months.

I talked to our team and everyone is okay with using the GSB Center for Entrepreneurship offices for the summer. We will be working with other GSB start-up teams, so it will still be a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment.

To reiterate, our team would consist of:
Brendan Speechley, GSB MBA / MS in Agriculture/Resources, BS in Computer Science
Alberto Lalama, Stanford, BS in Computer Science

Mark Wittman and I would be full time for the last 7 weeks, but would not get funded.

Thank you again,
Kerem

Did you reply to him that we're trying to get time on his calendar for this week/next week?

Awesome that he heard it went well.
