I don’t need to say anything. The 7 for All Mankind site says it all. Here we go.

Slimmy sales are going very well, particularly after we decided to have Amazon.com fulfill and service the Slimmy. Now that Amazon orders are shipped through another fulfillment center, we are able to better manage inventory, resulting in faster deliveries and overall better service.
Koyono has also worked closely with our manufacturer to make sure there is a steady flow of Slimmy shipments on a regular basis, so there are fewer stockouts, which we had from time to time in the past. This always caused huge headaches for us and customers. While no business is perfect and unexpected events happen, these improvements are making a big difference in our ability to service you – our customers.
Check out Koyono ratings on Amazon. They have really improved over the last few months, as a result of the above changes in our operations.
Thank you!

Here is a great article from The Mercury News on VCs going to start-ups. This quote from the article pretty much sums it all up:
“I think they’re will be a place and time when I’ll be a VC again, and I’ll remember the clueless things I did before,” including asking a struggling entrepreneur to meet him at his expensive hotel during a cross-country trip, rather than drive to the startup.
“You don’t have to be in the trenches with them, but a lot of entrepreneurs resent VCs because they think they’re disconnected from reality. Now, I see why.”
In general, there are so many people that want us to come up with more products, have a website like Nordstroms, or hear their “great new idea” for us. We love to get feedback and their intentions are good. It’s just interesting how most people just can’t imagine all the things one has to deal with when doing a start-up. Strategy, ideas, and fun are luxuries.
