Ooooh, get her!


Anyway, I wonder boo, sorry, who, gave them all the cliches in the first

place?


But it is clearly not as bad as it could have been, and is strangely

compelling. I think it would be more realistic if there was an X-files type

timeline at the bottom as we're clearly talking 10-12 months ago in terms of

the attitudes of the investors (e.g. the revenue model hasn't really been

thought through but the investors seem impressed by a few technical words.)


I would love to hear the opinions from any people who are in, or have been

in, a similar situation, such as small dot-coms that are totally reliant on

getting a second round of funding in the future to survive until the revenue

model actually stands a chance of working.


But in any case, lighten up Ian you miserable bugger ;o]
