Temporary Solution: "Entrepreneur Program" instead of IdeaLaunch; New name update - Your Preferences Requested

[David Parker]

Emil and I have been cracking the whip with our outside developers and ferreting out any and all instances of “IdeaLaunch” on the Web.  We’re certainly not finished, but we’ve accomplished a lot:

-          SandboxIdeaLaunch.org now redirects users to MVSandbox.org

-          At MVSandbox.org, we’re calling IdeaLaunch the “Entrepreneur Program” – intentionally boring so that we’re motivated to find a better name!

-          Our Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter pages are all now scrubbed clean of the word IdeaLaunch

-          Our upcoming Pitch Contest flyers will not mention IdeaLaunch

Many thanks to Emil for quickly taking on the lion’s share of the work.

 

What this means, is that we should all do our best to stop using “IdeaLaunch” – at all.  Just say “Sandbox Entrepreneur Program” – it’s not pretty, but it does communicate what we’re doing.
