Sorry about the email adress, it is now corrected.

About your questions, I am sorry I can't go into the specifics but I don't want to damage our brand. I would be more transparent if the situation was desperate but we are not there yet (that's what I want to avoid).

Here is what I can say : - our product is a complex (pc/win) software. - it requires some investment but not much (domain expertise is too strong a word). - most customers can find alternatives even if much more costly - our own market could grow (especially under a focused marketing push). - our company culture is quite informal - I suppose we could accept outside direction. Not sure, though, I never thought about it.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you want details.

Sorry to hear about your predicament. Good to see that you are addressing it directly.

Are you in Paris? There are a number of groups you can work with to get assistance and bounce ideas. La Cantine is a great starting point - a group of French tech entrepreneurs that adopt a more pro-active approach.

I am a mentor at Le Camping www.lecamping.org and would be happy to discuss some ideas and introduce you to other people that may be able to help.

I understand that you do not want to put too much detail on the forum. Contact me at jhlewisjr the usual gmail. I will be meeting with some companies tomorrow and Wednesday and could meet with you either of those days.

Good Luck - JHL
