Here's the best update I have:
Stating the obvious here, but E2's investors quit putting money in. As far as I know, the CEO is going solo, funding some work on his own and likely continuing to look for a licensee or buyer.

My experience with E2 was they hired me, ran out of money 3 months later and let me go. I did volunteer work for a almost a year maintaining online presence and communication, but no one at E2 initiated dialog about possible or eventual compensation, so I shut down that work Jan 1, 2014. The phone hasn't rung regarding that work, and E2's online sites have sat idle since.

Occasionally the CEO hints on his facebook page he intends to keep E2 alive and go it alone. Other than that, no one from E2 is discussing the future of the company and its products, and the public has been in the dark for 9 months with no end in sight.

If this concerns E2, no one is talking. Personally, I'm not in favor of that, but I'm not in a position anymore to do anything about it. Without getting into detail, I worked very hard on something before and after Jan 1, 2014 to keep things moving forward with E2 and keep the Xprize dream alive. In the end, my best efforts weren't enough. I hate to say it -- you guys are on your own.

If anyone wants to stay in touch with me, message me your email. I can provide additional info and keep you updated on what I'm doing next.

Thanks and good luck!
