ENET eMinute

The Entrepreneurial Minute

The Entrepreneurial Minute, (eMinute) provides early stage companies with a forum to present their business challenge directly to angel investors, venture capital firms, service providers and potential partners in attendance at ENET's monthly networking meeting.

Fostering Growth in Early Stage Companies

Are you trying to raise capital? Protect your IP? Build your Board? Develop a business plan? Launch a new product?

Now in its second year, The Entrepreneurial Minute, (eMinute) is an innovative program by the Boston Entrepreneurs’ Network designed to help early stage companies overcome the challenges of growing a successful business. The eMinute opportunity provides early stage companies with a forum to present their business challenge directly to angel investors, venture capital firms, service providers and potential partners in attendance at ENET's monthly networking meetings. eMinutes are also included in the following month’s eMinute “email blast.”

How it Works. Each month, one or two entrepreneurs will be selected to give a 1-minute (250 words) overview of their concept and business challenge. The overview should include:

• name and location of business
• experience of entrepreneur and management team
• target market need
• product or service solution
• business challenge to providing solution
• the assistance your company is seeking (ex. capital, services, partners, etc.).

You do not need to be an ENET or IEEE member to benefit from eMinute!

Previous presenters have said this about their eMinute experiences:

"The Entrepreneurial Minute was, from a business development perspective, the most productive five minutes of my career!" Jay Johnson, CEO, Synersoft.

“The eMinute was a great opportunity to get our message out to a diverse audience, and I am grateful to the Boston ENET for making it possible!,” Ray Deck, President, Element55: Automatic Time Capture.

Entrepreneurs will be prescreened by ENET and deemed to have a legitimate need prior to presenting.

How to Apply: Please send your 250 word draft of your eMinute to John Ellis at john@opticsforhire.com. Include your: phone number and best time to call you back. eMinute drafts need to be received by John Ellis by 5:00 pm on Thursday, the week prior to ENET's monthly meeting. However, earlier is better as the eMinute pitch slots tend to fill up quickly.

ReSurfX, LLC is leveraging on proprietary computational algorithm based enabling technology for effective decision making. ReSurfX IP achieves this by reducing errors in computational and statistical analyses of large complex datasets in part through a newly discovered property of datasets. The converse application enables strategic design of technologies with end point decision making as a criterion and adds significant value and market advantage to products by increasing confidence in the output.

ReSurfX intends to focus initially on Life Science applications including high volume experimental programs such as drug discovery, measurement technology designs in Life Science, and in enabling better decision making to reduce the explosion in patient care costs. The Life Science landscape in this arena is undergoing major changes due to the introduction of a number of large scale measurement technologies and extremely large volume of data that is expected to continue for a long time.

Other applications of this enabling technology include large scale manufacturing and QC workflows, hidden workflows in IT, Finance etc. Potential clients include major pharmaceutical companies, business workflows, software developers, universities, major energy exploration and manufacturing companies utilizing large-scale data sets.

ReSurfX, LLC is seeking investment to exploit the full potential of this patented technology. We are also seeking partners and personnel (Executive, Technical and Consulting). ReSurfX will pursue multiple revenues streams via out-licensing, partnering, algorithm enhancements and consulting services to support licenses in the short term and through in-house ReSurfX enabled product development for longer term growth.
