Good points, it is eye-opening to re-read my own words. The tech is flipping awesome. The company is commercializing research developed at a university. Imagine a research lab with several people -- the really smart ones that truly invented the tech got jobs and moved on. The guy that copied everyone elses homework started this business from what they left behind. It's a small niche, that's why customers keep finding us. But the tech really is the best in our niche. Perhaps needs more polish to finish the research to commercial transition - but functionally excellent. Definitely no efforts made to attract customers, and little effort to retain them. Yet somehow they keep calling. Now in negotiations with the first big customer -- if the deal works out the company will be on solid financial ground for awhile. That's the sort of upside that makes me consider sticking around. Of course, I also think about launching for myself....
