cutting down advisory board

[Christopher L Lohr]

Suresh advised that we cut down the advisory board slide so that we are only covering 4-5 people that we feel tells our story the best. He's not suggesting that all the people aren't important--it is just too much info when all the judges will be looking for are some key people that cover the industry and/or function as mentors. Suresh said that the Board would be far more important if we were working on a cancer drug or something where CLOUT is a huge deal.

Noah, can you pick 4-5 people to cover on the Advisory Board slide? Also, can we key in on the reason they're featured on the page?

Sure thing. My notes are pretty informal as I assumed Nick would talk to them.

Andy Cargile -- knows the camera space inside and out since his team owned Microsoft's webcam business. Super entrepreneurial as well.

Hakan Olsson -- lots of industry experience (17 years at Microsoft, most of which was working with outside partners). also part of our target demographic (kitesurfer and paraglider)

Dave Sanford -- I know he's a restauranteur now, but he's got lots of tech startup experience. He was Reid Hoffman's right-hand man (linkedin founder and ceo).

Bo Ostojic -- Incredible balance between design, engineering, and soul

What about Stringfellow?  He seemed to have a pretty relevant background.

Thanks Noah.

Agree with Tom... at least Jim caught Suresh's attention...

Unfortunately he looks a little better on paper than in practice ;-). Basically he's just not the strongest businessman. He does have connections though so I wouldn't be opposed to adding him back.
