Hello Paul,  

My name is Brian Soule, I am a 22 year old entrepreneur. I enjoyed your post on Project 10^100. You are absolutely spot on about the internet's ability to facilitate open collaboration and affect the way we think about productivity. You have most likely read the book Wikiomics, but if you haven't I highly recommed it.

I was writing because as you are most likely aware, a great deal of entrepreneurship is marketing. I am working on a caffeinated breath spray called Wake Aid. The product development has been coming along well, but we are reaching the point where we would benefit greatly from a market validation.

I may lead a group of underfunded college students, but we have an insatiable drive for success. We can work sixteen hour days, then sleep for four hours, and be hungry for more. We don't have car payments, marriages, mortgages, or 9-5 jobs. All we need is someone with knowledge and resources to push the snowball and turn it into an avalanche. This is an invitation for you to join us to have great adventures in the marketplace. I will not rest until this product has become a national success. Help us perfect Wake Aid with a market validation, and the rest will be history.

Sincerely,
Brian Soule

    Plant a Seed

    "Entre" comes from the latin word meaning "between". Connecting is a vital activity to the entrepreneur.

    Once a day, I will contact those who can provide guidance for my projects. Although some emails may not get responses, all the letters and replies will be posted on this page so that you may learn from my experiences.

    By "planting a seed" or making a connection once a day, the institute should grow into a catalytic wealth of productive insight.
