Those factors were the most important reasons why I recommended that you speak to those specific people and also why I was insanely surprised by this person's response to 2554. It was upsetting for me to hear

P.S.- The company in question is a market giant...this was why I was surprised by the response.

We also approached BASF Catalyst which has their HQ near the Siemens Foundation HQ, but they said we weren't "in their community"
so yeah, we're going to try Goldman Sachs since one of our mentors on the team is an employee there...though I fear the same "not in our community" answer..hmm
we do have a Loreal Branch near us who we intend on approaching
we also have a Thales branch near us


thanks for all the feedback!
