Not exactly. We began as a 50/50 partnership. I had spent 3 years developing some CMs software, and, to create the partnership, I was donating the software, and he was putting up some money. As time went on, his money certainly gave him an advantage, regarding our long-term direction, but there was the sense that I had given up something important on the assumption that we were going to work hard to build a successful business. So there was a sense that his impulsiveness undercut our original understanding. The same is true of the investors who eventually put up about $2 million. They took small slices of the company on the understanding that my ex-business partner had already invested a lot of his own money, but then, that investor money was put up with the understanding that it would be transformed into a successful business, so, again, his emphasis on aesthetics rather than substance did disappoint the hopes of those investors.
