Everyone--<br><br>Sorry for the silence this week. You may have noticed the big press the C4E is getting; it's taken my time/attention.<br><ul><li>We will be meeting every Tuesday and Thursday until then. That includes tonight.<br>
</li><li>One of the required documents will be a written narrative of your slideshows (pitch deck). Although you may have forgotten, I had mentioned that such a beast will be due by finals. We will go over this requirement at tonight's meeting.</li>
<li>I will want to see an equity distribution table among the founders, and a confirmation that all team members have agreed on that distribution. This is also required in order to compete in the finals.</li><li><i>All teams must have at least one other person</i> -- lest you forget that the most important thing to investors is the team. A smart CEO is nothing without an ability to attract others. And the worst team members are family. Most investors will not invest in family businesses unless/until they've built an miniature empire already.<br>
