The producing group and the author’s names are there - again, not stove related.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Two Principals at a young growing stove company (EcoZoom - headquartered in Kenya): Amanda West (one of 3 founders, now at Mercy Corps and Oli Raison (the present CEO) alternated back and forth on different aspects of this report. They especially concentrated on five roadblocks summarized in this figure I took from the report. Amanda (leading off) and Oli spent more than 5 minutes on each of the 5 topics - mainly concentrating on the EcoZoom experience.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="573A9EA9-53A1-4686-A24E-50579E90688D" height="480" width="638" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:C4E8E7AD-71E9-4E2E-9C8C-189E00520B7B" class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I thought the two webinar stove participants were exceptionally good. EcoZoom (about $2.5 M/yr) has a portion of their business on solar lamps, which was especially interesting to me as I was a Board member of such a company (In Namibia) that clearly had many of the growing pain issues I heard this AM.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>If you couldn’t hear today’s message (sponsored by GACC, but minimal participation by GACC staff this time) I recommend the webinar much more than the above-cited report.
