Here at REVO, we take a very different approach to project teams than many other college teams do. We try to model ourselves like a startup company would. Our goal is to establish a reputable brand and use social media to spread our message. This will allow us to grow as a group and will make it easier to attract sponsors in order to have the funding necessary to improve our product.
Communication is our number one priority in this team. With Twitter (Follow us @OlinREVO), Facebook (Like us) and this website, we are able to provide both members and outside followers with up-to-date information about the progress we are making on our exciting projects. We are thrilled about the work that we do at REVO and want to share that with the world.
Our hope is to have a racing kart by the spring, and achieving this will take hard work from us and support from sponsors. As a result, a big task for our team is acquiring the funding necessary to complete our kart. We are looking at both old and new contacts to try to find companies interested in what we are doing. As part of this, we have updated our sponsor letter to send out to companies, as well as providing sponsorship levels to reward companies for supporting us.
