our Startup team
OUR TEAM
COCUUN team members include a small ad hoc group of advisors. We are exceptional inventors, entrepreneurs, influencers, business developers, communicators, public relations experts and venture capitalists. Collectively, we have phenomenal leverage, skills, outreach, connections and successes. Jeff Peckman is the Founder and Manager of COCUUN, LLC. See more about Jeff below. You'll meet more of us as COCUUN progresses.
OUR COMMITMENT
COCUUN combines the ideas of Archimedes 'lever' and the 'Butterfly Effect'. We are committed to achieving a more coherent and sustainable world, while decreasing destruction from human-caused climate change.
OUR LOGO
The 'butterfly'-like image of our trademarked logo was inspired by the Blue Morpho butterfly found in the jungles of Latin America. COCUUN's logo wings are symbols for electrical power. Combined with the infinity sign as the 'butterfly' body, our logo represents the power of COCUUN technology in converting incoherent current into coherent current through a 'metamorphosis'.
Our logo also symbolizes the infinite power that each human being has to 'give flight' to their biggest dreams and ability to uplift life on Earth.
founder and chief solutionist
Jeff Peckman
I’m the founder, owner and manager of COCUUN, LLC. At age 10, I vowed to find and promote solutions to our world's biggest problems. COCUUN technologies are the most affordable and cost-effective solutions I've found for a wide spectrum of such devastating problems.
Startup Advantage
One advantage for COCUUN as a startup is my track record of getting vital messages to the masses. A few excerpts of unsolicited news media coverage are included below. They show what is possible when even one person with limited resources is committed to promoting big solutions.

Our Inspiration
Ilya Prigogine -- Nobel Prize-Winning Chemist
"When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order."
Margaret Mead -- American Cultural Anthropologist
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Archimedes -- Greek Mathematician, Inventor, Astronomer, Physicist
"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."
Thomas Jefferson -- American statesman, diplomat, lawyer, architect, philosopher, Founding Father
"Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppression of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day."
Victor Hugo -- French Poet, novelist, dramatist, essayist, politician
"Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come."
William H. Murray -- Scottish Mountaineer and Writer
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!”
