SolarAttic CEO To Speak On
Raising Capital Via The Internet

Minneapolis, MN. (September 28, 1999) -- The Minnesota Entrepreneurs, Inc. announced today that local business maverick Ed Palmer, CEO of Elk River based SolarAttic, Inc. will be the featured speaker at its October 5 meeting. Palmer's story about the difficulties of raising capital for a small company is the subject of a feature article in the September 1999 issue of Inc. Magazine. Palmer will address the issues that SolarAttic has experienced from a state regulatory and Internet stock-sales perspective. Where does Minnesota fit in when it comes to its securities regulatory practices? Has Palmer really been pioneering a new trend in capitalization using the Internet as Inc. writer David Freedman suggests?

Inc. Magazine summarizes their article as follows: "With all the talk of 'easy' capital, you can forget that there are plenty of companies that don't exactly have people lining up to hurl money at them. Like SolarAttic Inc. Its sales have been brisk, but the company's conventional efforts to find funding haven't paid off. So CEO Ed Palmer has become a pioneer, joining the first wave of company builders to seek investors on the Internet."

Join Minnesota Entrepreneurs next Tuesday, October 5 and learn from Ed Palmer's first hand experience, what it takes to raise capital over the Internet.

Ed Palmer will speak at the monthly Minnesota Entrepreneurs meeting at the University of St. Thomas, 1000 LaSalle Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55403 on Tuesday, October 5, 1999 at 6:30 p.m. The public is invited.
