Is this the one we have been looking for. It could be a “sleeper”.

I have seen over and over companies who may have a great idea but as far as management of the product it is terrible because they just don't have the knowledge marketing wise to be able to sell it to the general public. I think if VC's provided more support in consulting on what they think would work and provide more after-investment support that things might take off for a few companies because the failure rate of these companies now who receive seed funding is not sustainable.</p> I think many of these VC companies need to kind of be a “hybrid” model themselves when it comes to how they invest and what type of support they give.
