[Noisebridge-discuss] excel declined

[Mitch Altman]

Hi Michael,

 

 

This is disappointing.  It seemed from their initial response that they were excited about our proposal.  Thank you, Michael, for checking in with Eva to see if we can get some clues as to why we were rejected, and if there is anything we can do to be part of ExCEL this year, and, as you say, to help us do better in the future.

 

 

All the best with the jetlag.  It will be my turn in a few days, as I'm going to London on the 29th.

 

 

Best,

 

Mitch.
