It was clear from the slides that Azul thinks about financial analysis/trading systems when designing its stuff. Many other cool technologies have been developed with financial services customers in mind (Terracotta and various other grid computing stuff comes to mind). This is well and good, but I'm worried in general that the ill health of the world's financial institutions will erode the market signal that has brought so much innovation downward to less lucrative markets. If Azul was trying to raise money now, would VCs bite given the ill health of the most likely early adopters?
