Hi,
We love the Make-It Homes concept, but money doesn't grow on trees. The only way for our idea to grow beyond our garage ... is for us to figure out how it can generate the capital it needs to grow itself.
We need a business plan.
If you have your own life goals, and a genuine desire to achieve them... so do you.

On March 26, One World Innovations was invited to an educational business summit, sponsored in part by Cayuga Venture Fund. We were most excited by the keynote, a talk by Andrew Delmont on social entrepreneurship. Of additional value: several social media marketing seminars, a power networking session, and lunch. It was a new place to practice our pitch and learn a little about small business culture in upstate NY.
On April 9th, One World Innovations was accepted at "Ideas to Concept". I2C is a recurring entrepreneurial workshop hosted by Rev, a new business incubator in downtown Ithaca. There were four other accepted entrepreneurs, and discussion was led by Rev's entrepreneurs in residence Ken Rother and Brian Bauer. We bounced ideas off each other for 4 hours, basically working our way through the various components of the business model canvas shown above.
Sorry, we didn't take any photos.
Some people will do anything to make their business card stand out. I care a lot more about a person's ideas, and their core competencies. But it's nice if a card can reflect your or your company's values.
What's the most useful thing you could have on a 3.5" card? My previous card was lined for easy note-taking. This one is a ruler and doodle-pad. The squares are 1/4"x1/4". The angles are 15°, 30°, 45°, and 22.5°.
P.S. The following are adverts, because money sometimes does grows on trees. I wonder what types of things AdSense will recommend for readers of this blog.
