Our lawyers are worried that we might have said too much already! Meanwhile you can entertain yourself with my small thoughts (see URL), which have nothing to do with venture capital!

I was trying to learn more about Alsop Louie Partners, but there is not much out there. Is there a way to get in touch with either gentleman that you could share with me?

Meall Mon, 09 Jan 2006 14:33:18 +0000 http://venturebeat.com/vc/?p=1027#comment-2980 This is to request verification that my e-mail of Friday, January 6, 2006 informing you of our disposable oxygen sensor was received. Also, as an update, today we met with a major battery manufacturer and secured their interest in collaborating with us to complete the development of our patented product. We should be concluding that relationship later this month. At this time we are initiating an agreement with a company for the testing of our product which will then be presented to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the appropriate approvals. This should take about 9 to 12 months. Then the marketing of the product will begin. Our financial needs at this time is $1,500,000 to take us through these phases. My telephone number is 215-654-1131 if that is of help. This is to request verification that my e-mail of Friday, January 6, 2006 informing you of our disposable oxygen sensor was received.

Meall Fri, 06 Jan 2006 08:09:06 +0000 http://venturebeat.com/vc/?p=1027#comment-2979 We are a developmental stage company. We have patented a device which is a single patient use, disposable oxygen sensor. This patented State of the Art electronic process eliminates handling, sterilizing and assembly of existing Galvanic Sensors which may lead to "V.A.P."(ventilator assisted pneumonia), noscomial infection. Inclusion of this integral oxygen monitoring system expedites all procedures and its absence is a disadvantage. The use of our device virtually eliminates cross-contamination & infection. We are currently engaged in independent testing by an organization which will assist and is experienced in Food & Drug Administration(FDA) approvals. Our immediate goal is to raise approximately $2,000,000 to take us through the next 12 months of activity in order to bring our product to market. We are a developmental stage company.

Apologies, Valerie, I just read your post at http://swissventures.blogspot.com/2006/01/why-journalists-are-not-vcs.html#links.

I’m a little slow this morning, and just realized you are talking about Alsop’s views on journalists, and not my own inability to perform basic calculations and talk at the same time.

I concede the article could have been clearer. It went through an editing process, which cut out some context. But if you are talking about the $4.5 million caluclation re Nortel stuff, please note that it is not derived from the $10 billion number. Thx Valerie

And I thought it was because we cannot calculate entry/exit variables vis-a-vis carried interest and talk at the same time.

It is a really refreshing bit of honesty and humor. Every VC should post one to earn credibility :-) <a href="http://www.bvp.com/port/anti.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.bvp.com/port/anti.asp</a> Matt,
