Josh,
As you may remember, we spoke several months back about an investment
in our online advertising network. Since that time, there has been a
very interesting series of events, and there is now a new opportunity.
If you have a few minutes in the next day or so, I would love to be
able to bring you up to date. You can reach me on my cell at
???.???.???? or just let me know what time works for you.
Best,
Noah
Hindsight is 20/20... although as an entrepreneur, I'm happy to see these kinds of stories. Nothing makes an entrepreneur happier than to prove the doubters wrong.
Of course, you're not really a doubter; you're just a skeptical person who has to use caution when investing.

Hindsight is not at all 20/20; it's myopic and has an astigmatism! We can't know what would have happened if we had taken another road: the circumstances of the situation would have been different. We don't even know whether we made the wrong choice given the information we had at the time. But I agree that it makes a funny blog post.

Heh, good point Lydia. I've never thought about the butterfly effect when using the "hindsight is 20/20" quote.
Maybe by NOT receiving investment from Josh, they went down a better path. Then again, maybe if an investment was made, they would have went down the IPO route with a valuation in the billions.
One never knows...

Josh, I guess the real questions is whether or not you even contacted the fella.
