Seventh Session Fri 10/20

Rosalind Coprisarow of ACCION and Ruben Bermudez of alooo.com will join us as guest speakers.

ALSO, a DE Writing Assignment for this Friday: We would like each team to email us -- sandy@media.mit.edu, jpbonsen@alum.mit.edu -- more detailed financial / economic models about your business idea. How does the cash flow as you provide your product or service? How does your venture operationally self-sustain and grow itself financially? We suggest you do this exercise from the ground-up. Guesstimation is ok at this stage, we want this as an early reality-check on your venture concept and as a way to be explicit with your assumptions.
