Partner guy: Why doesn't Google do this?
Marvin: Because we are smarter.
Chip: Because they haven't thought of it and when they do, we'll have cornered the market on voice-activated social networking.
Partner guy: I still don't understand why, if this is such a good idea, Google or MSFT wouldn't do it. I've heard they're working on something like this
Me: I have friends at MSFT. I don't think they're moving in this direction...
Chip [cutting me off] YET. And, we think our strategy of capturing verticals will allow us to amass users and remain under the radar. Those guys aren't thinking bout toy dog owners and disabled ham radio operators. This is our advantage.
Partner guy: [flips through deck to the end] How conservative are these financials? These seem a bit aggressive.
Chip: You should see the conversions and referrals we're seeing with the dog people. It's unreal. And these financials don't include the Eastern Block where we KNOW this is going to be big.
Partner guy: [Checks Blackberry, shifts, emits small burp]
Analyst guy: Can you share some of that data with us?
Chip: Absolutely. I'll get it to you today.
Partner guy: Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure. Really
At the Starbucks afterword Chip was pretty psyched, but Marvin and I are a little less sure. Chip says that Vcs don't give you their business cards if they're not serious. We'll see. I'm having someone scrub the toy dog owner referral numbers this afternoon.
