BioLite FirePit – Now On Kickstarter
September 22nd, 2017BioLite has a very successful history of using Kickstarter to launch products. Their latest effort is the FirePit. It’s a smokeless wood-burning device that cooks your meals and gives you a front-row seat to everything going on inside your fire.
There are 51 airjets which inject the fire with oxygen along key locations thanks to the fan located inside the USB-rechargeable orange power pack. This promotes uniform temperature and gas mixing to burn the wood as effeciently as possible in order to reduce smoke.
#1: Get an efficient burn with way less smoke than a conventional fire pit
#2: Enjoy the feeling of a 360-degree floating fire with the FirePit’s X-Ray Mesh
#3: Burn charcoal or wood embers for a hibachi-style grilling experience
Bonus: Kickstarter backers receive a free Solar Carry Cover ($60 value).

September 22nd, 2017The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is hosting a Small Business (SB) Roundtable in Tampa, FL on 17 October 2017 from 2:00pm-4:00pm, with a no host social from 4:00pm-5:00pm. Government participants will be the USSOCOM Acquisition Executive, Director of Procurement, and Director of the Office of Small Business Programs.
SB Roundtables are intended to allow small businesses to discuss barriers to doing business with USSOCOM, provide input as to what USSOCOM is doing well, and provide suggestions for ways to make doing business with USSOCOM easier. These roundtables are not meant to be an opportunity for firms to present their capabilities to USSOCOM, or to receive a forecast of upcoming requirements.
USSOCOM would like to have participation from all socio-economic categories and a variety of industries. Space is limited to 25 individuals; therefore, participation is restricted to one participant per small business.
The criteria considered when selecting attendees (in no particular order and not listed in order of importance):
1. Socioeconomic status (they would like representation from each socioeconomic category (SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, VOSB, and SDVOSB);
2. Products and/or services provided (they lean more towards firms that provide what the command buys, but want a variety of industries represented);
3. Experience with USSOCOM (they would like a mix of experienced and inexperienced firms);
4. The last time your firm has attended a SB Roundtable (they want to afford all firms an opportunity to attend a roundtable);
5. When your request to attend was received; and
6. Where your firm is located (they would like a mix of local and non-local firms).
