Speed dating for Highest Wind

While it sounds a little improbable, apparently it's pretty effective.

Highest Wind has been selected as one of the startup companies to present at the upcoming Speed Venture Summit.

See the press release about our selection.

This event connects startup companies with investors in speed-dating style - fifteen minute face-to-face chats across a table. Just enough time for us to both feel the 'chemistry' or not, and arrange follow-on meetings (or receive that emergency bail-out call from our wingman). After a few hours of this, the most popular startups then do a public presentation to the crowd with applause measured to choose the audience favorites.

Sounds wild.
