Actually… it’s not about winning.

Remember a few weeks ago we posted some tips on how to win ClimateLaunchpad? To tell you the truth, winning is overrated. The real win is so much bigger: learning to build a business and finding paying customers. That’s what we offer. And it all starts with an entrepreneur and a solid belief in his or her idea. Read my take on the start of Google for example. This week’s number of applications shows the amazing number of 376 already entered with only seven countries where submission deadlines have passed. We are well on our way to an all time record. And as always, we selected some good greentech reads for you to enjoy:

• Can coastal cities innovate their way out of sea level rise? Dutch port city Rotterdam is changing its relationship with water.
• Solar is getting ridiculously cheap. Cypress Creek CEO: ‘We’ll Be Sub-75 Cents’ per Watt by 2020.
• It’s not enough to focus on electric car sales. We need to focus on infrastructure to accommodate EVs.
