Thanks for this insight DJ and good luck to you. If shares in your company become available I would invest

We whole-heartedly welcome you and your family (both real and company) to the USA, even if only temporarily. Having worked for several IT companies over the years, I opine. (My half cent)

• Constantly ask and re-ask the question what is our goal, do we need to change it or step back?
• Stick with what you know "your expertise". - I worked for two companies that got into areas they thought they could handle (to get a bigger paycheck) just by hiring "smart people". They both folded!
• Most importantly - Manage the balance between Work and Home! It does neither good when one outweighs the other!

Good Luck Sir! We definitely appreciate and support your efforts!

Welldone DJ on your latest efforts. I would also support EZ Robot if shares became available

It's awesome to receive such amazing support! We have been discussing a family and friends round of funding before making any big VC decisions. I didn't think any of you would be interested, but it warms my heart to see your support!

I wonder if I should consider a kickstarter page?

I suspect lot of us would love that the chance to invest in something about which you are passionate and which also looks like it has fantastic growth potential is exciting in itself - rope us in

PS thank you for the very full and honest answer to my original post; my respect for you and what you do just keeps growing

@MrCrispi I agree completely

Best of luck Dj What a fantastic product, I may not be a VC but I sure know what I have in my EZ-B nothing comes near in the Robotic world. Think I will wrap my EZ b up in cotton wool (its too good to use ) its will be worth a fortune some day.

Thank you DJ By the way, forget about cloning that would never work in your case.

That was very well put and gives even more of a reason to admire you. I personally would love for you to come to California. :o)

"physical robot shells and mobile support" - I was thinking about this too. To some the thought of hacking a toy is scary. But if you had some plug and play style shells. I think this would open you up for a broader range of consumers. hmmmm.... I will think on this. Didn't you mention somewhere you have access to CNC or was it laser cutter? 3-D print machine?

A kickstarter page would be a wonderful idea. While I don't have VC funds would still love to contribute. All though you do have to promise us that when you are big and famous you'll at least stop by and say hi from time to time on the board.

DJ PS. The guy that funds the company I work for my be interested. He owns Stage 8, he is an inventor himself and wants me to bring my minion in for him to see. I can't promise anything, he is older and technology escapes him. But could also get you a large warehouse to operate out of.
