A Play in Three Acts

http://www.cleantechopen.com/

CAST & SETTINGEntrepreneur..................................................................Will Perkins

Will, an engineer by training, spent many years in the labs of a large technology company. He is now leading a group of his former work colleagues into a new clean-tech venture. Having spotted the growing interest in electric cars, Will and his team have developed a product that sits between the power source (i.e., home wall plug) and car charging port that speeds charge times by 30%-50% in early lab tests. SpeedyCharge needs $500,000 -- 750,000 to develop a prototype and place it with a local electric car club who have agreed to beta test it.

Angel Investor.................................................................Julio VegaJulio, a lawyer by training, now spends his time investing in early-stage growth companies as an angel and with his group of old friends functions almost as an angel fund.

SettingHaving been introduced by a mutual connection, Julio and Will are meeting for the first time at a local craft beer hall to review terms for an angel investment round led by Julio. Prior to this meeting, Julio and Will had a long “meeting” (WebEx) where Will walked Julio through his slide deck and business model for SpeedyCharge. Julio indicated a willingness to invest, but Julio wanted to meet will in person to negotiate out terms.
