Work in a 100 – or so

We have a name for our product “Eleanor’s Garden Baby food”.  We are currently in the process of legally registering it name in all three needed local languages. Just this week the design company sent us some sample logos. 

 

We ran the nutritional contents of our favorite 6 flavors by a few infant nutritionist and were told we needed to improve their iron content.  I have been trying to cook using more spinach, but it is really hard to get it to taste good. 

The beginning of Aug we all went to Business 4 Transformation conference for Christian business men who are interested in using their expertise, knowledge, and deep pockets to help cross cultural workers like improve our companies.  We made and official pitch of our business plan, like they do on the TV show – Dragon’s Den, and tried to make a deal for the added investment money we need to continue making organic Baby food.  Based on the audiences reaction, and their voting us through to the next round, I can say that they pitch went great.  But the investors still thought it was too early on in the project for them to invest any serious amounts of money.  They gave us 10,000 USD as an encouragement to keep at it. we are thankful for their feedback and business suggestions they gave us, but financially that barely put a dent in the remaining 325 000 we still need.
