Meredith came to see me along with the CTO Marc Berte. Did anybody hold patents that would prevent us from using this technology? We hired IP specialists to review prior art. We grilled their IP attorneys. I seldom hire patent attorneys during due diligence but this was too important. We hired OSHA regulatory lawyers.

If you presented on your own but have a very talented CTO perhaps your follow up is to bring by your CTO to show why the tech you’ve built is truly unique. Compelling. Visually stunning (in this day and age this is becoming a sine qua non ).

I then had to review a nefarious IP lawsuit filed against another company and help the CEO figure out whether we should just pay it or join forces with the other companies named and fight it. Last time we met I didn’t have my CTO with me. Would it be alright if I brought her by your offices for a super quick coffee?”

It really started, because John is a clip show producer, and realized that the value was in the ownership of the IP. I also brought in a CTO, and brough in a head of product, who is helping to put together our own internal CRM, so that we can be more effective and efficient at discovering viral content before it becomes viral.

It seems that every week, a new, Voice-over-IP provider firm surfaces in the market, either providing PBX services, voicemail, or other similar services. What is your VoIP service all about, and how is this different from what seems to be lots of Voice over IP service providers? Cliff Rees: We're a software as a solutions company.

We have a lot of proprietary technology which we have developing with these phone numbers, including a way to identify attributes of a telephone number before our clients accept a particular user, for example, when someone is going to register with them. I've actually pulled in a lot of FrontBridge's management team to help me.

Dawn Newton: As an example, when you go to Google.com, it is actually routing to an IP address. Behind the scenes, DNS technology is translating that Url to an IP address, so you don't have to worry about it. What Justin figured out, was that same, DNS technology can be used to route to blockchain wallet addresses.

They often make great team members such as head of products, CTO, head of sales, CFO, etc. If this idea was so big then why would they risk not being first to market, not building defensible IP for the sake of a few hundred thousand dollars extra in lock-up money at a big company? I finally called bullshit.

However, there are some interesting differences in terms of not being able to control proximity of multiple boxes, having a fixed IP address and probably most interesting is the ephemeral nature of the persistent storage on the boxes. I'm hoping we can have one or two of the users come into our CTO Forum to talk about their experience.
