      Acquisition and strategic alliances possible anytime in the cycle. Talk of acquisition and I cant digest that of desimartini by HT. They did even bother to keep logo in site and TV ads consistent! :)

      Unless it comes under the category of “Seed Capital”, “Angels”, etc., I would think “Self-funded” is an important aspect and should hover around “Valley of Death”.

      Hi, I find this diagram very interesting and informative. I am wondering whether you can tell which paper or book it came from. I want to know the exact reference source. Thank you very much. Julian Yim
