Rumours and Speculations

Well lookie here! PlanetEye is nearing our private beta release and things are getting pretty interesting pretty fast.

• PlanetEye Launch Imminent - StartupNorth writer Jevon wrote a nice post heralding the eventual arrival of the website that I spent a good portion of my post-university life (which, admittedly is not that long) working on. It's all very exciting and re-affirming, but Jevon had to go and start speculating about the details of our financing, which would've been cool if he didn't get nearly all of it wrong. Unfortunatelly, all of the juicy bits have already been redacted form that post, so good luck finding what it said :)
• From the Trenches - When they get it wrong - It didn't take long for Rick Segal to respond to Jevon in his blog and politely correct him with regards to some pertinent details about PlanetEye. I'm mostly impressed with the length of the actual post which is longer then most of the essays I wrote in UofT...

So there you go, the fun is just beginning and information is slowly trickling out. Although I never got why we are constantly branded as a "stealth" start-up. While I never go into discussing funding details and usually gloss over business matters, if someone asks, I tend to go on and on about what PlanetEye does for travellers and why it's so exciting to work on this project. But pretty soon you'll get a chance to check it out yourself... just go to PlanetEye.com and sign up for the beta!

P.S. I went to a birthday party last night not too long after Jevon posted his post and had to endure things like:

"Oooh, I heard you guys are worth millions of dollars, I would've
expected you to dress better!"

Wankers.
