The Villij rests….not

As opposed to most weeks this one has gone by nice and slow. Now that TechStars is over Villij has brought a more natural rhythm back to it’s company. We have a lot of investor interest and are really pushing to close our next round of funding by the end of October.

As the discussion ensued I told him it gives me comfort in knowing he still go’s through some similar issues as we are right now. I assume it doesn’t necessarily get easier, you just get used to the lifestyle.
