Hi Gian,

My name is Forrest Hanson, and I am reaching out to you from Greenstart<http://greenstart.com/>, a startup accelerator focused on helping entrepreneurs build successful companies at the intersection of Cleantech and IT. HCI is integral to many of these startups, which is why I am reaching out to you.

Applications<http://greenstart.com/apply> for our fall cohort are available now through April 11, and I’m wondering how we might share this opportunity with folks in the HCDE community and alumni network who are working in that space.

For more information, here are a few links that cover:

* our $100k convertible note<http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/05/cleantech-focused-incubator-greenstart-now-offering-startups-an-extra-100k/>, * our five current companies<http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/15/greenstart-tightens-focus-goes-after-sexy-cleantech-startups/>, * and <http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/15/greenstart-tightens-focus-goes-after-sexy-cleantech-startups/> our application process<http://vimeo.com/37786711>.

I’d love to answer any questions you have and am happy to set up a call if that's at all convenient.

In the meantime, I hope all's well in Seattle -- thank you for reading!
