having a baby can really mess a schedule..

everyone is sleeping now, and i realized i have demos this week and that i need to set everything up (upgrade to a new version, make sure everything most things work, etc.)

guess it’s easier to do a start-up when you are single and childless, which is yet another reason to start a business when you’re 20-something rather than 30-something. i try to cover for the lost time with experience from my previous start-up adventure. not sure whether it really works this way.

against the wishes and recommendation of my wife i traveled to Israel last week and to the west-coast this week.
she is towards the end of her pregnancy and i promised not to fly after March 15th…

it seems she was right (as usual).. had to cut my west-coast trip short, hop on a plane (funny that they only have discounts for death-in-the-family, but no consideration for a husband-that-his-wife-is-in-labor..) and go directly to the hospital…

i made it in time! which saved me from some a serious guilt-trip, a big told-you-so from my wife, and teenage son/daughter that will blame me for not caring about them enough to even be there when they were born.

we are about to have another baby soon, and i am trying to squeeze in as much travel as possible before i am grounded.

over the next couple of weeks i am doing EWR-TLV, TLV-EWR, JFK-SFO, SFO-SEA, SEA-SFO, SFO-JFK (seriously considered adding London to the list, but will save it for later). so if you’re getting my voicemail it’s not because i am screening calls, and if you get emails in weird hours don’t assume i am working too hard, it’s just that i am on a different time-zone..

we are starting to talk with investors about our next round of financing.

the powerpoint is in a good shape (few words using a big font), the executive summary is being polished (though i doubt anyone will read much of it) and the excel is showing a hockey stick.

we have realistic expectations. our goal is to raise lots of money, within a short time, based on a great valuation from tier-1 investors
