The article didn't really clarify. Did they lose the funding mainly because the laptop was lost at Heathrow?? Was it because of fear their IP was compromised by the theft?
- viraptor 10y ago"The idea was born when one of the founders lost his travel bag" - this has nothing to do with the funding.
- cyberferret 10y agoAnd the article STILL doesn't give specifics about what exactly was found lacking in the company. Poor reporting will generally lead to people trying to squeeze anything out of the information given, misreadings don't help.
- metalon 10y agoI think what it means that they got the idea for the tracker after losing the laptop, they didn't lose it after securing their funding
- cyberferret 10y agoGotcha - I missed one word in that sentence... It's late here...
- janvha 10y agoMate, it's too early to be drunk...
- cyberferret 10y ago11pm here... Not all HN users live in your neighbourhood... ;)
- janvha 10y agoAh, then it's the right time to be drunk. My apologies, and enjoy it! :-)
- erikb 10y agoI also misread the article at first that this was the reason for losing the funding, but actually it's the reason for starting the startup.
- cyberferret 10y agoYep - It's been a long day of programming here, and it is late evening and I am tired, which is probably why I misread the article and asked for clarification. But the downvote police are seemingly merciless... :-)
