Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Good news: the EBA will support the migration to Io .

 

Hi Electric Boats group,

RE: monetizing

I've been picking up on some of the discussions about migrating the group and agree that facebook is problematic and
I've just spent a few minutes on the Groups.io site and agree it would be a better option.   I've been a bit too busy this year to do ahead with 
the electric conversion of my 1974 Dufour 35 sailboat but I have already learned a lot from the wealth of knowledge and experience shared in this group
and hope to comb through the archives when I am ready to do my conversion.

In response to Rob's questions about monetizing the group, my company would be interested to become a sponsor if the group decides 
to go the sponsorship route.  I am involved in a startup in Berlin Germany that is launching some products for the marine market including some 
portable lithium batteries for running trolling motors on small boats that will have good performance, safety and be affordable. (www.bronson-energy.com)   We are close to the launch date
and will need to get more focused on marketing so its a good time for us to think about this.  As a  startup we don't have huge troves of cash to throw around
 but I think it would be well spent marketing budget for us to be involved in a group like this.

reach out to me if you decide on a sponsorship scheme,   martin@bronson-energy.com
best regards,
Martin

Thanks, Barci9999.

In fact, in view of all the back and forth on this discussion area on what would be done about the site shutdown, I joined the Electric Boat Association as a paying member last week.
The EBA presently only has a handful or two of members in the U.S., but I liked the idea of joining an international organization, and I felt there was at least a chance that some other ElectricBoats group members would make the same decision.
I'm still working on my conversion project, and so look forward to exchanging information with everyone in the near future.
