Looking back makes me sad to see how much and how often I had tried to push this company forward. I was constantly initiating actions… too bad management prefers to stand still…
One such example from back in August:

Hi Jessica,
How do you do? My name is Nick and I’m writing to represent Mr. Kohei Nishiyama from elephant design co. ltd.
elephant design is one of the most innovative companies in Japan. Its founder, Kohei Nishiyama was name 2009most innovative business person by Fast Company magazine in the US. We operate a web service calledCUUSOO.com, in which our patented “Designed-To-Order” system is used to allow ordinary consumers to be directly involved in the product design process for companies such as The LEGO Group, MUJI, Nissan Automotive, Tokyo Electricity… etc, basically any company in the world!
We’ve been in this “User Innovation”, “Crowdsourced Product Design” business since 1998, and we’re the only company in the world that can safely manage the IP rights for both the designers and the licensees.
Currently, we’re working on two extremely exciting projects that will completely change the world’s current, traditional product design, marketing and sales methods! On the technology side, we’re creating an open sourced web application, called Open Hippel, that will allow anyone to start their own projects around their interestes, and our web application will have features to connect these project creators with the people who can provide the skills needed to execute ideas into real products or businesses! Then, on the business side, CUUSOO is the only system in the world that can safely manage IP rights for both the creators and the companies that will license or buy these IPs. We are in negotiation with major manufacturers in China and Vietnam, basically, CUUSOO will work out all the manufacturing licensing logistics for all the users of the Open Hippel platform! What these all boils down to, is that ideas of any scale, from anywhere in the world, can be safely sourced to the right companies, or in the near future, personal rapid prototyping workshops and hackerspaces around the world through CUUSOO.com!
We believe our combined technology offerings *PLUS* our proven record of a long history of IP management with our patented IP management system will not only help Barcelona and Catalonia’s ICT sector reach current markets in Japan, but also leapfrog into the future by connecting directly with the massive talents and IP pools of the internet.
We look forward to discussing more in-depth about what we at CUUSOO.com and the ICT sector of Barcelona can be of service of each other.
Best regards,
