If you think it really works , what advantage to let anyone else have any? before acquisition?

Would you rather have Bill or Bezos than Intel or other randoms? Shall I introduce you to David? You should

» Hi Joi,
>> Lots happening. We should talk soon.
>> - I have the license from Lockheed (finally). 31 patents and patent pending. Pretty good deal but not cheap.
$0.5M in 30 days. $1.5M in 200 days. Royalty rate is good - drops to 2% after 65k units.
>> - A NC investor group is interested in $5M. We told them $25M pre. They pushed back and had us meet
with Blake Krikorian who knows you. He loved the product and positioning so I think we can hold our line on
valuation. Blake also asked for a convertible note like yours. Should know about the NC group soon.
>> - Intel is looking at $1.5M convertible note.
>> - Met with Google and they said they were interested in an acquisition. No idea what valuation they are
going to consider. Any ideas?
>> - Working with Flextronics on manufacturing. Very interesting group. No problem in scaling.
>> - Apple is interested in selling the device in their stores with an exclusive for the new iPad mini. October is
a very big date with them.
>> - Amazon is also interested and wants us to go to Seattle to meet their management.
>> That said, we need to raise money quickly so I need to expand my search. Help here would be very
valuable.

>> Best regards,
