Chase Grant

Okay so I have never really utilized Face Book. In fact, social media and I are still trying to understand one another.


Here's the deal, as you know we are trying to get our shrimp farm operations in Port Isabel Texas into an expanded commercial production. 

We recently engaged a company who works to secure funding for companies like ours, (companies, who do not have a historical income and expense record, but who do have proven new technology and an operating production capability). They are looking to secure a minimum of  2.5  million to a maximum of 10 million in funding to expand our production capacity asap.  

Until they secure those significant funds we need operating capital to keep operations moving and expand production slowly until we can build modules allowing from nearly a million to 10 million pounds per year.

To see our progress down at the Port Isabel facility go to www.globalbluetechnologies.net

Chase Bank along with a group called Living Social is offering 12 grants of up to $250,000 for small businesses.  We've registered. ( And it is probably a long shot, in any case), but as the old adage goes, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained".

The catch is that we have to have 250 votes of support before June 30 in order to qualify. Voting closes June 30th.  Voting is done only via Facebook.  Here's how:

 Click on the link:


https://www.missionsmallbusiness.com


Then scroll down and look at lower right hand side of page from Chase and click on the "log in & support" blue bar under the heading "Log in with Facebook".


This brings up your Facebook log in page:


Type in your Facebook password and this takes you to the:

 "Vote page" for "Mission: Small Business"

 At the bottom of that page there is a box for "company name."  Type in "Global Blue Technologies" that's us, or, in the state box type in "Texas" and city "Port Isabel." 

Then click the search button and GBT comes up on the list. 

 We would appreciate a "Vote" for us.  

If we get the grant and if we get our funding we will throw a huge shrimp feast at South Padre Island just down the causeway from Port Isabel.  It might be in two years but the fun will be worth the wait.
