“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.”

Thomas,First off, I’d like to thank you for using your entrepreneurial talents to address the energy challenge. This is the pressing challenge of our time and only disruptive innovation brought about by entrepreneurs like yourself can solve it. Also, thank you for the interesting and passionate presentation.Greenstart’s mission is to help tilt the scale in favor of startups at the intersection of cleantech + IT, but we are only able to offer our services to a small number of companies.

We have compiled lists of resources and readings that we advise all startups at your stage to utilize. If you have any questions about the below resources don’t hesitate.

We wanted to share some inspiring words from Justin Rosenstein’s January 20th TechCrunch post "Do Great Things":"Don’t lose the fire you started with. If you’re going to devote the best years of your life to your work, have enough love for yourself and the world around you to work on something that matters to you deeply. Something that’s beating out of your chest and compels you to throw yourself at it completely. No one knows whether you and your teammates will realize your audacious visions, but in order to do great things, we must attempt great things.”
