Stoern raise €14 million
For those who know about this story.
Steorn have reportedly raised €14million from private investors ahead of the "expert evaluation" of their "technology". Beats working for it I suppose, but this does help to clarify some of the lingering questions about why these people are doing this. Other curious pointers to their intentions:
This should leave a nice big hefty slice ofthe €14 million capital invested to be spent on more important things like directors salaries, benfits, bonuses etc etc. I don't have a link, but it was an article in the Sunday Times today (Irish edition). |

I tried to join their forum, but it was closed to new members. I still left my email address for them to contact me when they had the results, but they've yet to do so.

They say that in the article as well. Reread their statement more literally:

Is their anyone here willing to test them on this by posing as a wealthy individual looking for offbeat investment opportunities? |

They obviously didn't spend any of the 14million on a brand consultant because 'Orbo' is the single worst product name in history.

Mods - there's a long-running (>six months) thread on Steorn in LCI. Could this be merged?
