Highest Wind named "Company of the Year"


Quite unexpectedly, we were named "Company of the Year" at the Speed Venture Summit last night.

As one of forty seven companies seeking investment from twenty three investment groups, we'd just spent the previous three hours "pitching" our companies for just twelve minutes each with as many as six different investor groups. The investors then voted for their top five favorite companies. Halfway through a glass of red wine at the reception afterwards, I was somewhat relieved to not hear our name announced as one of the five. But when one of the five didn't approach the podium, Highest Wind was announced as the sixth favorite company. All five of us then had one minute to tell our story to the three hundred plus people in the audience, after which they cheered for their favorites. Happily, they cheered loudest for Highest Wind.
