> Can you imagine an Angel funder in Silicon Valley saying they only fund "innovative" ideas by companies that have five years of existing accounts One way of getting around that for us has been to incorporate some of the best things we have come across into what we do. Essentially taking on those teams or their software. As we finally have the "five years" of accounts. (Described elsewhere in this thread.) We are also teaming up with some of the larger NGOs and also governments where they essentially end up collaborating with us on the innovation side which has a hard time inside the organisations. As you say it is sad how hard it is to get access to funds which are actually there, and it is sad to see what get funds instead, in the name of innovation.
