Congratulations to the winners of the inaugural 2013 Founders’ Prize:
- For Opening New Frontiers – Jay Hannah and Dave Knaack
- For Operational Excellence – Eric Kaplan
As stated at the meeting, the categories for these awards are entirely arbitrary and subject to change in future years; Â Also, we estimate that this prize is roughly 1 million times easier to win than a Nobel Prize, and the cash award has been scaled accordingly.
Here’s a bit from Travis about the Opening New Frontiers winners
As for the award for Operational Excellence, this prize is awarded to Eric Kaplan for consistent attention to “things that need done”; He’s involved in everything from staffing booths to designing marketing material and furniture for the space. Furthermore, he successfully facilitated the Makery’s relocation to our new home.
Again, congratulations to all our 2013 winners.
