| Thank you all for your replies which I'll go on an study further. I'm honoured you all took the part of your busy schedule to suggest us what to do. To clarify: They are not our only "investing option", but they are the first to introduce us to this market which we haven't considered before. The "investor" is probably (we are not sure) going to ask to create a new-co, rather than investing money and getting shares of the company. They plan to access funds from other investors or grants. To their excuse there actually was some information which understandably they wish to keep confidential, mainly names of peoples and charges and relationships.
I don't want to give more clues about this as I wish to maintain that "hi-confidentiality" intact; which is why I also created this new account on HN On one side, I think they want to ensure that we don't develop the project without them.
I also think they fear there might be consequences (legal? political? of image? ) for them if we were to disclose their names, charges and some of the things they told us. But I'm not sure. From a legal point of view I'm not sure if the NDA doesn't define who is the "disclosing" or "receiving" party, nor what were the contents that have been discussed, there might not be any basis to take legal action. Or is there? |
