We just got back to the office from the final showdown event this afternoon, and unfortunately, we didn't win. I want to say congratulations to Chris and Don at Leading Edge Technologies, the 2006 VenturePrize winners, you guys did an awesome job and ProExams looks great! Congrats also to Ken and Kyle at Collaborative Learning Network, our fellow runner up.

As we mentioned when we started this, we never expected to make it to the semi-finals, much less be a finalist. We entered VenturePrize to learn about business plans and pitching to investors and I can happily report we have gone a long way to achieving that goal. To make it to the finals is awesome for us and for Paramagnus, and I have no doubt it will help us moving forward. Thanks again to our awesome mentors Pierre and Ted, you guys helped us so much.

I guess I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed, but I know that focusing on the negatives won't get us anywhere. We're going to take what we learned from the experience today, and improve upon it for the Wes Nicol competition tomorrow. Speaking of which, we should start packing soon as our flight leaves at 9 PM this evening.

More updates to follow (including pictures and press releases and all that jazz)...
