Therefore, I''ve had to do a lot of saying no to requests for my time.

We’ve had an explosion of alternate sources of financing from crowd-sourcing, angels, accelerators, incubators, corporates, corporate incubators. An impressive number of new VCs have been created – most of them with new seed funds. And importantly we’ve had revenue.
