BEHEMOTH Project Sponsors
The bicycle adventures never could have happened without wonderful help from sponsors, volunteers, and media… a three-way symbiosis that I wrote about in the Reaching Escape Velocity book (where to look if you are contemplating a massively audacious project and need to figure out how to get industry support). BEHEMOTH in particular, being so technology-intensive, was built from countless goodies provided by high-tech companies, plus about three years of intensive lab work with the help of some really smart people. I’m dating this sponsor list on my birthday in 1991… just after winding down the 8-year bicycle adventure to embark on a speaking tour and quest for Microship lab space. Somehow that feels appropriate. Thanks again to all!
