Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner materially changed his proposed endeavor after the petition was filed. He initially proposed working on HVAC solutions through his own startup, but later took a full-time job with a former employer in the oil drilling industry. This change meant he failed to demonstrate that he was well-positioned to advance the specific endeavor as originally proposed at the time of filing.
