Hello ALAPers,
This is just a reminder that our regular ALAP potluck is
scheduled for this Thursday, April 12 from 6-9pm at MLUI HQ (148 E Front
St).
This month, we have a slightly different format in mind as
we attempt to catch up with some group business reflection/discussion
time. We will begin at 6pm sharp with a “working potluck” rather than our
normal informal networking time. During this first hour, we will discuss
group business including membership, virtual participation options (recording,
live-streaming, etc), meeting format, speaker sourcing, and local alternative
investment education. So please bring your ideas! Should we have
any folks interested in making a 5-minute speed-pitch on an entrepreneurial
project they are working on, we will allot time for those at the end of the
first hour as well.
From 7-8pm we will hear from the local natural cleaning
product extraordinaires of Selestial Soap (www.selestialsoap.com). I learned
a few days ago that Selestial is undergoing some exciting new structural
changes which we will get to hear about first-hand. A new investor/CEO,
Stephen Ezell of EHA Ventures, LLC (http://eha-ventures.com/1.html),
has joined Ruth and the Selestial team and will share with us his top-down
overview of the company and the vision he has to lead it to the next
level. Stephen has also agreed to spend a portion of his presentation
introducing his venture capital firm and how he approaches the analysis of
opportunities like Selestial.
In our third hour we will regroup and discuss the Stephen’s
presentation and spend remaining time revisiting topics raised during the
working potluck.
I look forward to seeing you all this Thursday. We
have much to discuss and much to learn from each other!
Here’s to a great start to the week!
Zach
