"To make all SEO agencies - including our own - redundant!" Why? Because SEO is the ultimate digital snake oil industry of our era. Sucking away ressources and f###ing up websites, wasting (life)time of users and developers alike. http://www.f19n.com
The book looks interesting, but I'd much rather an electronic copy rather than a paper book. Is there no digital version?

Tried to learn more from the link - I know you want to sell the book/courses etc, however, I need more to go on. Is it all about web performance, speed?
It's all about creating a platform (a.k.a. a web property) that enables systematic, scaleable SEO. And - measurable - processes how to deal with this platform. And as SEO is 5% is know-how and 95% execution (as everything that has value), how to come from know-how (and where to get it, hint: it's not SEO blogs!!!) to execution.
we also offer a free open source app to test for the most annoying SEO best practices and pitfalls (incl. invisible meta-data).
I'm a co-founder at Stitch, and our mission is to inspire and empower data driven people. I believe that the development of the scientific method and evidence-based decision making is the most important development in human history. It's not universal, and it's a lot of work. We want to motivate more people to come over that way of thinking and make it easier for them to do so. www.stitchdata.com
Enable community driven coordination of distributed enegery production and consumption. Basically virtual power plants operating on the edge of our grid. Heat, refrigeration, lights, etc are at the foundation of modern society. The foundation of modern society is driven by the distribution of energy. Helping ensure energy sources at the edge of our grid achieve scalability and fault tolerance strikes me as something…
I'm reading about your Allgau microgrid, and it looks like it may have been chosen as a pilot because some feed-in tariffs are expiring. Is the idea here to effectively bypass the utility company (even though there is a partnership for this pilot) so that energy consumers end up directly paying each other through the blockchain ledger?
The current model (power utility produces electricity, maintains distribution infrastructure, and bills on a KWh basis) for producing and distributing energy is very wasteful. We’re constantly producing more energy than necessary to react to spikes in demand. The current model is also increasingly strained as we adopt more renewables due to their relatively unpredictable nature. However, the utility isn’t going away in the foreseeable future. The lines and other infrastructure still need to be maintained.
The idea is to elimate waste. Work toward new models that benefits both sides (e.g. peak demand gets supplied via energy sources at the edge of the grid, utility doesn’t need to install more infrastructure to accommodate growing energy demand within that microgrid).
The "mission" thing always makes me wonder... What will happen if your mission interferes with making profit? My guess is that, for 99% of companies, mission will be ignored (or changed). This shows that the true mission (i.e. purpose of the company) is making profit and not what they declare.
Making more data about doctors public. Their research papers, education, accepted insurances, Medicare acceptance, etc.

Speaking generally about all our projects and from my personal perspective (software guy, not public relations); The idea is to bring both sides of the industry (customer, utility) together more efficiently and effectively. The current model (power utility produces electricity, maintains distribution infrastructure, and bills on a KWh basis) for producing and distributing energy is very wasteful. We’re constantly pro…
Due to FERC Order 841, we will see a surge in grid-scale batteries and our markets (in the US) will have to accommodate this. They will hopefully help some with various issues such as congestion, transmission buildout, and short term changes in demand.

I work in this field (electricity markets) and don't really see microgrids fulfilling this niche anytime soon.
