(1) I did notice. Why do you think I mentioned Japan? (2) He never stated how much revenue his IT consulting activities generated. This person is quite eager to qualify his potential partners (that's a sales technique, btw), but from reading the pitch, the only thing that's clear is what he doesn't bring to the table. Promises of help with future marketing and funding do not justify equity to me, but things might look different to someone else.
