EE Presentation
Classes, meetings, presentations, homework, and a pizza party sums it up. The presentation was for a business plan in Environmental Entrepreneurship (EE), a class I am taking at the business school. Our business plan is for a microfungal bioremediation start-up out of Port Angeles, WA called The Remediators . They basically clean up contaminated soils…
Weekday Review
I’ve been writing about mountain photography the past few days, so here is a little review of what has gone down this week here at Stanford.

Proposal
My research proposal for Venture Capital got a shaky reception today. Apparently the topic was too easy. I’ll think about modifying it to make it more “groundbreaking,” however not at the expense of the topic area itself, because I really like it. Yes, I don’t know Chinese and I don’t know the science behind the…

First, for my one class at the Business School, Environmental Entrepreneurship, my final project will be developing a business plan for The Remediators, an entrepreneurial business that…
