I see that the project has received high marks and has publications in the top media it is of course very important. But even more, than it is already a working business.
This is of course very important but without IEO I do not think that we can talk about how to raise funds for a soft cap.
Anyway, I haven't seen any announcements about it. And I think the team understands that it will be hard to raise funds without it.
Judging by the road map it should have been a little earlier, but apparently something happened. I will wait for announcements from the team to clarify the situation.
