Criteria for ideas under development Potential to achieve $500MM market capitalization within 3 – 5 years (meaningful to Enron) Potential to fit within expanded Enron corporate portfolio, but outside of existing core (“a different business model”) Leverage Enron skills, customers, ability to be customer/supplier, market insights, etc. Able to attract full-time team from inside or outside Enron
