These and those

Having caught someone's interest within, I submitted a level-two application to one of the angel groups yesterday. If we're just as good as everyone else who got a form to fill in, our chances of being invited to give a presentation are maybe 15 percent. I like to think our pitch is better than everyone else's, but it's a variable completely

This makes me wonder a little... What would happen to Volity if you don't get the money? Would volity.net shut down?

[prog]

No. The most realistic worst-case scenario is we get no funding before running out of seed capital, and so we all have to get jobs. Volity Games would continue to exist as a company without any full-time employees. We'd continue to pay the hosting fees... and keep looking for funding.

I very much do not want this to happen.

hmmm. while this isn't that dire, relatively speaking, it's less than ideal. i had visions of you pimping the andys out and then it all blowing up in your faces when andy finds love with a diplomat's daughter, andy turning states evidence, and the drug/prostitution empire you constructed crumbling around your ears. i really saw it as a ripped from the headlines episode of law and order: criminal intent. i feel you going up against vincent d'onofrio would be like chess on crack.

that said, best of luck to you. i wish i were loaded.

not only do chicks like myself dig on strong and commanding business language, potential investors do too. imagine the coup if you could bag a chick investor.
