Comments on: Five Arizona Companies That Got Some Funding http://derekneighbors.com/2009/11/five-arizona-companies-that-got-some-funding/ Musings of a Mad Man Fri, 19 Mar 2010 06:48:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Brian Driggs http://derekneighbors.com/2009/11/five-arizona-companies-that-got-some-funding/comment-page-1/#comment-788 Brian Driggs Sat, 28 Nov 2009 19:15:22 +0000 http://derekneighbors.com/?p=6415#comment-788 News to me. I don't know about funding a company which counts flipping homes among it's designs. To me, that sort of plays up to the Phoenix-is-a-real-estate-town-and-nothing-else vibe, but maybe someone was hedging a bet with that one. Smaller footprint wireless is one of those future technologies that's going to make our world a better place. Hopefully we get some city-wide wifi with a decent speed in the process. Hopefully the net will still be somewhat neutral when that technology starts to spread. And, as a gearhead, I would love to see technologies that reduce emissions of diesels. These hybrids make me sick. They are overly complex and over-priced in pursuit of the sort of mileage small displacement turbo diesel cars are getting on the roads in Europe. Interesting to see your question of who got funding answered, Derek. News to me. I don’t know about funding a company which counts flipping homes among it’s designs.

Both experienced entrepreneurs. Pat Sullivan is CEO of Flypaper. Akayne also got funded -- by ATIF. I know Flypaper and iMemories quite well. Both experienced entrepreneurs.
