I am disappointed in this comment. I believe each team should decide for themselves how they want to be funded and I respect whatever decision is made. If 5699 leadership chooses not to have sponsors from the corporate world, than that is how 5699 shall be run.
I am not going to say it is the right decision, I am not going to say it is an easy decision and I am definitely not going to try to bring that idea to any team I associate with.
To Kleiman and the rest of 5699, you run your team how you feel appropriate. That means that you have to live with the results of your decision and in this case, that means having to find $2500 some way other than corporate support. I know that might sound daunting, but that is the reality you are faced with. I am sure that the people in this thread (and others) would be willing to help you find ways to do this if you go over to the fundraising forum. I know your price was increased, you can either continue to be upset or you can take the challenge and grow your team to be more resourceful. To do this effectively you should create a business plan and involve your students in fundraising. You might even get the KPCB award out of it. I wish you the best of luck.
