As someone who applied, and is producing hardware, everything is stacked against me from the beginning it feels. I have a business that need pretty much exactly what tinyseed offers, but beyond that it would only need external funding to stay running in a scorched-earth situation. We could crank out a few million in profit a year without burning ourselves out in the process, but a few million a year is "chump change" these days. As it stands, I am running the risk of personally running out of money before the product is at risk, as our operating costs are essentially zero, but the operating costs of my kids are not. The combination of these things somehow makes a matured, tested, and in-use life safety platform not as exciting to investors as it would seem to people outside the startup world. I mean hey, I'm trying to keep people from losing their lives, if I were making the next business-class notepad replacement I'd have 2 million dollars and a 300k monthly cloud burn-rate.
