FountainBlue designed its Funding Road Trip to prepare early-stage, funding-bound, Silicon-Valley based clean energy, high tech and life science companies for their pitch to investors. We do this through a series of three workshops, conducted on the first Friday of each month for three consecutive months, once in the spring and once in the fall. 

The first workshop in the series was launched on March 2008 and helped the workshop participants to define Your Positioning and covered your company’s position, the market opportunity and your position in the market. The second workshop, held on April 2008, focused on Your Pitch to investors, and included both a detail presentation of the elements of a PowerPoint pitch and a dry run where entrepreneurs pitch to each other in a safe environment. The third workshop, The Meeting, was held in May 2008, and gave pointers on how to get meetings with investors and how to make a pitch to investors facilitates between qualified entrepreneurs and strategic investors. The invitation-only third workshop facilitated meetings between former workshop participants and actual potential investors who serve as judges. The series was repeated in the fall, on the mornings of September 5, October 3 and November 7, and has continued in the spring and fall of 2009.

• Right now, at the beginning of 2012, what are you watching the most closely for its ad and marketing opportunities?

  • Mobile. Smart devices have become standard, and advertising is only going to become more creative there.
  • Online video. It's a real competitor to TV now, and it presents really interesting ways to engage viewers.
  • Social media. The new Facebook timeline and the surge of Google+ have cracked the game wide open again.
  • Tempting as it might be, I don't want to get too involved in one aspect.
  • See, I think this might be a good time to see what would happen if we revisited MySpace, but made the ads slightly bigger... with more strobe effect.
