Will,
I will call you Tuesday at about 10 am E.S.T. This is great news. The West Coast and San Diego seem to be natural locations for new technology companies. I am looking forward to speak with you and catching up.

Hope your day and travel is going well. Mondays are always rough here.
If you have time can we chat late today (1800 EST +) or tomorrow? 703-989-8889
I think we have a new CEO chosen - he's a west coast guy, Stanford business grad, and worked on Wal-mart's website as a VP way back in the late 90's. He's really into tech and has worked on several startups that were funded and 2 that went public. We are also looking at possibly running this from San Diego or the west coast if the funding and team is better served there.
I believe that he might be a better "face" for the business side and that could help us with funding quicker.
As such he is providing a revised business plan this week, so you might have a more attractive plan to show potential investors.

I'm headed to the west coast. I didn't get a chance to meet with anyone last week. I was overshadowed by companies like exxon shell and other similar heavy hitters. I developed some contacts that I plan to leverage but those will take a more time. I have a call out a contact with a partner with private equity firm who is a former Marine. I'll be speaking with him early next week.
I can call you when I get on the ground in Denver at around 1500 E.S.T.

Hope all is well. I'll be at your shop in Old Town this afternoon - are you in town?
I'm also curious if you had any updates with your NY trip or contacts wih your friends from the Mid East.
When you have a moment I'd like to give you some updates on where we are at. If you have a convenient time I'll buzz you.
