    Are you affiliated with them in any way?

  4. Hard to say whether their stuff is any good but who cares because

    1. Their website is full of Flash #$%@
    2. Their website is full of literally meaningless hype
    3. They want you to register with them before they will even let you
    see what products they make. Breathtakingly stupid and arrogant.

    If they're that clueless wrt their website it does not bode well for
    their engineering and market sense.

    Did you see that they are also looking for venture capital as part of the
    website?

    Nope, I have participated in many startups. I just found the website
    strange, combining the VC with the products.

    Hadn't noticed that initially. Nothing wrong with being a start-up
    looking for investors but it's still ludicrous to act like you are in
    "stealth mode" while trying to sell products at the same time. If you
    follow the links to web retailers you see that they sell expensive
    aerobars. Great - would have been nice to see that without hunting
    around. If they are working on other products they are not ready to
    release just don't mention them.

    Having gone through the VC process in the post-crash era, it's pretty
    clear to me that their website would be a huge turnoff to any
    prospective investors. Vague, poorly worded hype does not work as
    well now as it did in 1999.

    I agree. A potential investor would like to see the executive summary,
    and just the facts please. I haven't got time to sort through page
    after page of [censored].

    You are correct. When I view the sight I had that late 90's .com feel.
    Like a bunch of kids playing business.

    You are more patient than I am. When I tried to look at the site I got
    tired of waiting for the stupid front page to load.

    It does tell you a bit about the company. I would not expect the warranty on
    any item to be worth more than the paper it was printed on about this time next
    year.
