A New Look

You may have noticed that we are sporting a new look. This is thanks to the great work done by Drew Melton of Just Lucky Design. I first met Drew at the Grand Rapids Art Museum at an event for AIGA West Michigan that hosted famed typographer Louise Fili. I found out that his company was called Just Lucky and thought "Hmm.. weird, I get a WiFi signal named that at my house." Turns out he was my neighbor down at the artist lofts on Division Ave. Later on, I ran into him again at the start of another project called 10oclockclub done with the help of Kevin Buist. The focus of that project was to create a situation where good ideas happened. We were inspired by Steven Johnson. A group of friends met for show and tell every Friday at 10am. This group became my sounding board when I pitched WeatherCollage at 5x5. Funny thing, another member of the 10oclockclub, Matt Fulk of Citizen Shirt, will be printing the T-shirts for WeatherCollage as well as some of the other Momentum teams. I think the process of forming this group led to great things. I've been getting lots of good feedback on the brand. If you feel the same gives a shout over on twitter @weathercollage. Thanks for reading!

Welcome

Welcome to our blog. This is the forum that we will be writing about our project. We are a Momentum 2011 team. As a team in a tech seed accelerator, we are experiencing a lot of new ideas and events as well as making some great connections. The teams participating in the program are going through a lean start-up method of business development. All this is to prepare us for pitching to investors. Oh, what I could have been doing if I had access to these resources earlier in my adult life! -aj
