Mark,
As always, it was great to see you at the GCVA Sounding Board lunch the other
day.
Here is the invitation for the May 18th Entrepreneurship Recognition Banquet.
I hope you can join us and please feel free to forward on to folks in your
network.
I am in Mountain View, CA at the moment with the Progressive Cooling Solutions
student team presenting at the MBA Jungle Business Plan competition. Out of
over 200 business plans from schools in six countries, we are only one of 24
invited to present the full plan. The final eight will be announced later this
afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed! Talk to you soon...
Chuck

Mark,
Thanks for all your great support. Here are the updates from Mountain View,
CA. Progressive Cooling Solutions has been doing exceptionally well both
finishing in the top spots (1st Place, UC MBA New Venture Championship
(internal); 2nd Runner-up UC Spirit of Enterprise Business Plan Competition
(intercollegiate); 1st Runner-up Stuart Clark Business Plan Challenge) and
making some great contacts and networking (University of Oregon New Venture
Championship and the MBA Jungle Business Plan Competition). Now it is on to
the "Super Bowl" of intercollegiate competition, the MOOT Corp Business Plan
competition in Austin, TX. I cannot wait to see the draw there... it should be
interesting. More as it develops... Have a great weekend!
Chuck
Hello Everyone,
First of all, thanks for all the emails of support that have come in just since
the first update. You gotta love the Internet. Just a quick update. The top
two teams in the 2006 MBA Jungle:
2nd place: Savium Technologies, U of Michigan
1st place: Sun Phocus Technologies, U of Chicago
6 teams tied for third and 16 teams tied for fourth! Okay, I made that last
part up, but congratulations to the two top teams. We are off to network in
Silicon Valley... More as it develops...
Chuck
Hello Everyone,
Marching in to the heart of Silicon Valley, Progressive Cooling Solutions, led
by founder Ahmed Shuja, continues its quest to build its foundation for launch.
As you may recall, PCS was one of only 24 out of over 200 applicants from six
countries to receive a bid to come to Mountain View, CA to present at the 2006
MBA Jungle Business Plan Challenge. Just getting here was a big win on its
continuing entrepreneurial journey. In the opening round, Progressive Cooling
Solutions drew a strong field:
dayStreamer, USC
Progressive Cooling Solutions, U of Cincinnati
Recovered Pulp Technologies, U of Waterloo
Adaptive Hearing Solutions, Stanford U
IDA Technologies, UC Davis
PrepMe Premium Test Preparation, U of Chicago
The top two move on to the final eight. The judges once again had a very
difficult decision, but in the end chose Adaptive Hearing Solutions, Stanford,
and IDA Technologies, UC Davis, to move on to the final eight. Joining the top
two from the other three tracks, the final eight shaped up as:
Adaptive Hearing Solutions, Stanford Graduate School of Business
Sun Phocus Technologies, University of Chicago
Savium Technologies, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Silicon Servo Inc, UC?Berkeley (Haas)
IDA Technologies, UC?Davis Graduate School of Management
Cellugen Inc., University of Waterloo
Nanodrivers, University of Waterloo
Krasis, University of Texas?Austin (McCombs)
The final eight are presenting even as we email, so I will update you when the
winner is chosen. In the meantime, congratulations to Ahmed, Megan Payne, and
Liz Sayers on a great presentation. While not moving on to the final round, it
is important to note that once again PCS has made some valuable contacts and
continues to capture the interest of a number of potential investors and
advisors.
While building its network, PCS moves on to the MOOT Corp competition in
Austin, TX next week. The preparation, past wins, hallway conversations, and
incredible feedback and networking over multiple competitions will allow PCS to
head into the "Super Bowl" of Business Plan competitions with excellent
momentum. The journey continues... more as it develops...
