Why must so many people assume that what they have seen will be all there will ever be? Companies and products evolve, and as we're a start-up we are nimble enough to change directions completely if we need/want to. Nothing is set in stone right now and everything can change, especially in the beginning. We only got the trademarks a couple of weeks ago and we're not doing a real launch until next year. There is no rush. Next year is when we start. I only post here on behalf of C=USA because I've been a member here for 7 years and lurked around for even longer. I don't care what you buy, I'm just a forum member, with an exciting project, and if you aren't as excited about it as I am, then I guess that's too bad. How many posts have we all read over the years that dream about winning the lottery and buying the brand/s out? Well, sorry....I'm getting to live that dream, without even winning the lottery. It's a real pity that I can no longer talk to the community about what we're doing because all I seem to get when I try to involve the community is grief. Oh well. Your loss. I guess we'll take a leaf out of Hyperion's playbook and be super secretive from now on.
One of the first rules of a start-up is don't dawdle, get something out there and evolve your product/s iteratively. Otherwise you might never start. It is impossible, at this stage, for all things to come out fully realised. Rome was not built in a day. The Phoenix was put out there to test if there was a market. Now that we are satisfied that there is a market we feel confident in investing in new models and advertising. For instance, we're not even 100% sure we're going to even continue with the Phoenix. Maybe, maybe not, it depends on a number of factors.
The pieces are starting to come together. The website is just a place-holder, there's a new one by a professional web company being worked on right now. You may not like particular developments or agree with our strategy but there are reasons why things must be the way they are....So please, have some patience..or not. If you get a kick out of incessantly belittling our efforts that says more about you than us.
