Stick around and you'll find that every idea you ever had and/or project that you abandoned winds up getting built by somebody else and funded to the tune of X-millions. That's a good thing... it means you have good ideas, or at least that somebody with money also thinks the idea was good. You can't look at this as missing out on anything, because A) You learned a ton and get to keep trying newer and better things. And B) Funding is not an accomplishment in itself, it's a means to an end. Time will tell if they become profitable or exit. If THAT happens, it's entirely appropriate to get licquored up and call everybody jerks. Also, "hello" from 6 rows up on the Chicago bus. :-)
