My brother was recently diagnosed with ALS. Is there anyway I can get in touch with you to have a chat about that video?


I just looked on the GrantTree website only the job ad for marketing is active. Can I have some information on the client management role please?


He ran a popular subreddit teaching people to program http://www.reddit.com/r/CarlHProgramming and a youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNxlZZVmfP8n84ag-rGpMg/vid...


I'm considering to apply for the support position, is there anyone I can speak to for more information?


Just by having your product on Dragons Den you agree to giving them 5% of the company irrespective if there is an investment made or not.


Really? That's partly a surprise, given the public nature of the BBC, yet also not a surprise, given the value of the airtime one gets, even with a lame duck of an idea.

Got a link/reference for this 5%? If not, how did you learn of this?


I don't have a link but I'm pretty certain I've read that elsewhere as well from a pretty trustworthy source. It's not terribly unreasonable, but does seem a bit....predatory(?)


I had a friend that had his company on "Shark Tank." The 5% can be either equity or just based off sales.


That seems like an investment in advertising, more than looking for a free investor. In this case, it's more economically feasible for the small potatoes firm than the big fish. 5% of a firm worth 20K - that's $1000 for a ton of advertising. 5% for a firm with traction work 20 million - no way!


I thought that was just for Shark Tank...I can't see how a government broadcaster (CBC or BBC) would be able to get away with that.


If you want to keep something a secret, using a pgp encrypted message would be far safer than SnapChat.


Sure, i'd attend. Where/when do you think it would be held?


Hi Dilan

I'm happy to have it at Sydney Dev Camp which is on William Street, Darlinghurst. We already hold a couple of meetups here so can easily cater for another one.


Hey, I'm from a Sri Lankan family living abroad, was just wondering what the developer community is like over there?


Most of those sales would be on the PS3 or Xbox 360 where Valve won't take a cut.


It would be great if you could easily set the picture as your desktop background.
