Episode No. 7: How to Get Buy In On Far-Out Innovation

Caleb Scott, Scott Land Yard Group

Connecting with customers is a precondition for startup success. But what if your idea is so novel, so inventive, that your customer base is skeptical about its potential? Scott Land Yard ’s business proposition is to regain agricultural land while contributing to sustainable energy production by raising sheep to essentially mow the lawn on ground-mounted solar fields.

About Grow-NY's "Lunch Specials" Webinar Series:

Each Thursday at noon, break for our Lunch Special! We will be serving up a series of short, informal chats with mover and shakers in the food and ag industry. A Cornell University student will pepper our guest innovators with questions as we get to know what motivates and challenges them and how they are adapting to uncertainties in our economic climate.

Hungry for ideas on funding or scaling? Looking for a recipe for success in tech, production, or sales? Lunch Specials attendees are part of the conversation and we encourage you to share your questions and comments as we go.
