It is a collection of practical lessons learned. The book is meant to be a knowledge source for those decisions we face as we start and grow our companies, for example, the real story behind risk and investment, how to pick resellers or strategic partners, selling in China, and the only reasons to consider M&As. It is also worth noting that all the authors have donated their knowledge. All proceeds of the book will go to support student technology entrepreneurship - via University of Ottawa grants and scholarships.

Plucking 'low hanging fruit' on energy tree - with MaRS Advisor, Tom Rand - 0 views

  • The groundswell of geothermal interest among builders, developers and individual homeowners all over the GTA is mainly because it's what "green" venture capitalist Tom Rand calls "low hanging fruit" on the energy tree – easy to pluck and very cheap in the long run.
  • It has special appeal in large-scale operations, something Rand covers in a book he is working on. "I didn't think it was possible to go 100 per cent renewable but the studies support it.''
  • He claims that "if you drill 10 kilometres down to the really high temperatures, you can make enough energy to supply the whole U.S. with between three and 30,000 times more energy than it needs."

  • It might be said that the Planet Traveler hotel in Kensington Market, in which Rand is a partner, is a bit of a test case. Although it appeared initially that geothermal wouldn't be possible on such a tight city lot, Rand approached the city about using the lane behind the hotel to sink his geothermal pipes.
