Interesting products.
Would, on the surface appear to be a strong symbiotic relationship between LoneStar Heart and Sunshine Heart
Sunshine Heart is definitely rubbing shoulders in the right circles?
The question is "Is Dave there on past performance and contacts or has his name been put forward on some "deal" we don't know about yet?"
I find it hard to believe he would be on that panel if the organisers thought he was CEO of a B grade looser company. Maybe he is an example of a company trying to raise funds, maybe he is the success story?
Rollon the Bots somebodies keen on us.
