- You have secured an investor?
Yes! $25k for finishing a first iteration of the product.
- Have won or applied for a SMART award?
Currently working on an application for a smart award (probably not worth mentioning)
- Secured a ‘BIG’ customer?
We have signed a deal of exclusive access to users of Kuchikomi.com (Popular Japanese business directory) and are providing their system with a simple to use website builder – http://demo.nGrinder.com (english demo version released on thursday.)
- Anything else that is ‘good’ news!?
I was shortlisted for www.theopenfund.com ! sadly, I didn’t make it to the final round because of my use of Flash software – the project was deemed ‘high risk’ which sure did put a fire under me – good news! this set back put me on the hunt for strictly flash development money – luckily, we found it! www.openscreenprject.org is investing in companies like ours with grants – yes, grants of up to $100,000 wish me luck! 
In other news:
I’m going to silicon valley tomorrow to hock my wares! I’ll let you know if anything comes of it. Gonna meet some flash people, i won the ticket for a thought provoking question about the future of flash for mobiles. Will be given a chance to ask the panel my question and meet some VC guys there.
My hope is to get through to someone who can see the value of my concept.
Gabriel
