Looks very interesting. Looks like the faster skier will get more pitch opportunities.

Love to hear about the idea your working on but realize the constraints that comes along with a new business idea. Whatever you can offer, if anything, would be welcome. If you go a report would be most interesting. Good luck.

Cool. Much better than the golf course.



I hope the plan you're working a pitch for is not my brothel idea.



I'll be rather upset.

Actually, I work on the wrong side of the business. These are guys with an idea who need some money. I find money for the guys who give the guys with an idea the money. So, my clients have money, and want to give it to, say, First Tracks, who will then turn around and give it to "Guy With Idea".

I do have a million dollar idea, though- it just concerns figure skating and not skiing.

I'm not sure your single red glove idea will take-off the way you think it will, though...

Just you wait- it's gonna be the hottest thing since..uhm, heat. Yeah.

Naw, actually, the idea is sort of an optimizer for skating scores- since there's so little subjective scoring now, we're working on a program to let you build routines and easily see what affect changing elements will have on the score. The ongoing plan would be to collect enough statistical data to run an investment-style optimizer to find the "best" program based on risk/return probablities. It's gonna be big, I tells ya. Huge!
