Shanti and I have been cranking away with Earth Deeds and a lot has happened since our last update.  I’m excited to share news, but first, here’s…

A few quick things you can do to help:

1. Watch and “Like” our 3-minute video pitch (and let us know what you think!)
2. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, if you use those services

Thanks!  And here’s what’s new:

• Earth Deeds, L3C.  It’s official.  We even have a bank account now for lots of money to flow into. 🙂
• Logo.  Over 100 people offered feedback on our design competition (Thank You if you were among them).  We did some further tweaking (adding hands!) and are quite pleased with our new logo, which we will append below the signature.
• Competitions.  We’ve entered three so far (MassChallenge, Cornell Venture Challenge, and Valley Venture Mentors).  We will enter Buckminster Fuller Challenge in a few weeks and three more next fall.  Even more than potential prize money, we look forward to the valuable feedback and support these competitions offer.
• Beta-testing.  Shanti will soon contact those of you who expressed interest in beta-testing and I’m excited to pilot our “Minimal Viable Product” with the Sustainable Living Class I am co-teaching at UMass this Spring.  We hope to do further pilots with Living Routes, Gaia Education, Findhorn and others this summer/fall.
• Funding.  We’re updating our business plan to v.3.0 and are now in active fundraising mode, so let us know if you have links to potential investors.

Thanks again everyone for all your support and insights.  Feel free to contact us if you have thoughts or questions.
