Hi Joi,
Lots happening. We should talk soon.
- I have the license from Lockheed (finally). 31 patents and patent =ending. Pretty good deal but not cheap. $0.5M in 30 days. $1.5M in 200 =ays. Royalty rate is good - drops to 2% after 65k units.
- A NC investor group is interested in $5M. We told them $25M pre. =hey pushed back and had us meet with Blake Krikorian who knows you. He =oved the product and positioning so I think we can hold our line on =aluation. Blake also asked for a convertible note like yours. Should =now about the NC group soon.
- Intel is looking at $1.5M convertible note.
- Met with Google and they said they were interested in an =cquisition. No idea what valuation they are going to consider. Any =deal?
- Working with Flextronics on manufacturing. Very interesting =roup. No problem in scaling.
- Apple is interested in selling the device in their stores with an =xclusive 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 =heir management.
That said, we need to raise money quickly so I need to expand my =earch. Help here would be very valuable.
Best regards,
David
