This was evident at the Twiistup pre-event company pitch last week at UCLA. �Francisco Dao came up with the idea of letting 10 companies that weren’t selected for Twiistup to do a presentation the night before to a group of people and let the audience pick one company to win the final slot at Twiistup. �I was the judge. �It was mostly painful. �I’m not saying the companies were bad – many were not. �But their presentations were not well prepared, not well delivered and lacking in a compelling story that captured the imagination of the audience (or me)."

Grads' Backup Plans: Nuts in Bhutan - BusinessWeek
Grads' Backup Plans: Nuts in Bhutan - BusinessWeek: "I'll be setting up strategies for how we manage the huge task of planting 10 million trees over eight years: everything from making videos with our agricultural team to figuring out and teaching people how to plant a tree to building a huge factory.
