dotpublishing - another option: Obviously, we have been looking for other sources of funding... and as we mentioned before the folks over at BOI seem to be good people. We spoke with them again on Friday and are going to be going back to see them early next week. We are spending Sunday revising our plan to include a more aggressive entry into the marketplace so we will have that to show them.

dotpublishing - big happenings: As we may have mentioned, yesterday was a stockholders meeting for ITL, a company we have been working with for funding. While we have no official word on the results of that meeting yet some of our sources indicate that there was a shake up in the top management. It also seems that there might be closure of the Utah office for that firm.

This doesn't seem to be good for our prospects of them being able to complete their investment! Hopefully the official word will be more optimist.

dotpublishing - a little catch up news: On Wed, the 21st we met with a great group of people here in NJ at the Business Owners Institute in Bridgewater. They have a good organization from what we have seen so far and it was a pleasure to speak with them. As a result of those conversations we are making some good alterations to the plan.

One of the things BOI does is help companies match up with investors and they have a good grasp of the Internet side of things. Of course, there is a percentage fee if they match us up with the money we need but it is well in line with the other organizations we have heard about and if they find us the money we need they are welcome to their chunk of it.

On a side note, unless I am far off my mark this article was written by the Director of BOI. The don't have a website yet, and I am not sure if they want me to give out their phone number so if you want to get their information we'll be happy to oblige, just contact us.

dotpublishing - off to an interesting start: At 11am CST there will be a stockholders meeting of ITL in Utah. We are hoping that they will be able to resolve the problems they have been having and possibly we can find a working relationship together.

just like the good old days: Several people have had questions about what thirty-days.com looked like when we first opened it. Fortunately, we kept a copy of that site we call "classic thirty-days.com". You can see it here and follow the saga from the very beginning.

thirty-days.com goes live again: After more than five months off, we are back and more dedicated than ever to making this site into what it needs to be. Thirty Days is all about following startup companies through their most crucial times and we will be featuring different companies when possible.

We want to be able to provide an open, honest and frank look at what is happening with us so that maybe someone else can learn from our experiences and mistakes the way we have learned from those of others. If you can think of any way we can make this site more useful for you, the entrepreneur or investor let us know!
