   These days many firms are kick-started on venture capital.   
   If  you can convince a major potential client regarding the   
   product you are proposing to build.   
      
   I can think of many examples, most of which started out a   
   shirtcuff sketches.   The British are pretty good at that sort   
   of thing but somehow they don't seem to be able to sustain   
   the momentum to follow through.

   No.  They contacted me a an early stage.  There were lots of news   
   bulletins sent to potential investors and other interested parties.   
   But product demonstration deadlines came and went with nothing   
   to show. Then silence.   
      
   I am pretty sure I know what the reason was......
