It’s timely to hear about a funding-raising venture that is a refreshing change from the bogus promises I mentioned in the previous blogpost.
I first heard about it today, when I received a message from colleague Ken Rasmussen. (I had photographed him a few years ago in the San Francisco Bay area when he was listening to an inventor. A group of us had gathered; we came from the East coast, Utah, California and Canada.)
The email began “Hi Jean” (minor correction, Ken, my name has an unusual spelling: Jeane),

Thanks, Ken Rasmussen ”
So I did. The pitch video sounds a bit too smooth at first, but then you realize that it deals with real people who come on camera and are telling you about their backgrounds and credentials. The team has been solving cutting-edge tech challenges for more than 30 years. And the claims made for their Electric Jump Start technology are reasonable in light of what I’ve been hearing about emerging knowledge, even though their breakthrough is potentially game-changing for electric motors.
They only have until Friday April 26 to meet their goal. Continue Reading
