First E&E meeting:

19th April the first E & E session. We had a powerpoint presentation on setting up a business. They gave us a few examples showing us that even something as simple as a pencil still needs a lot of work to get the wood, lead, rubber, metal and paint together as a pencil. There are long and short term businesses: long term keeps on selling i.e. there is on-going demand while short term just sells for a while. Starting up a business needs funding. We also had an exercise where we introduced ourselves and said a bit about our interests to see if we could find other people with similar ideas (like speed-dating)
