Work Meeting with Rodolfo Carpintier
Last friday, we had our first meeting with an investor. This time, we met Rodolfo Carpintier, who we got contact trying to get some investment in Wipley, but also to get in contact with american inverstors in order to take advantage of our next travel to California and Corea, where we will present part of our present research in CIKM 2008 e IDEAL 2008.
The meeting wasn’t as productive as we wanted, as we got no contact with any american investor. As Rodolfo told us, the american people has a huge market and they do not make investments far away from their own homes. Rodolfo criticised us some aspects of our actual business plan, most of them very useful to us in order to arrange the next “II Foro de Inversión de Madri+D”, where we have been invited, but some other critics seem to be in contrast with some topics we have recently read and we used to improve our presentation.
Next, I have posted a photo we took to us in a post-reunion meal in a McDonald’s, where we tried to relax before the meeting.
