Thanks, Karen for the opportunity to present to your investor group. It was refreshing to have a great one on one interaction with real investors in a private and intimate setting. The feedback you provided from the investors is more thorough than I got from the large forum that I spent 5x the money to participate in. Per your recommendations, I will send each investor the ES and presentation and schedule a time to speak personally with those that requested to do so. I look forward to participating in the group call you will coordinate. Thanks for your follow up. And, although we have received a term sheet from an institutional investor, I would prefer to raise capital from private investors and create morDonee value before exiting. As you and I have discussed, this is not my first time at the alter. I've raised money for other companies I've started in the past... in tough times and easy times. We are in a tough economic time right now and it is really great to know there are ethical hard working people like you out there helping entrepreneurs figure this out and get access to the capital they need. Keep up the good work.
