On the Verge? I'm feel like something is cooking I feel like we are about to turn a corner. I'm still angry with PremFina and Black Insure and Phun and Nivaura and almost all of our past. All wasted time and false starts and conmen that ran off with Fineqia's money. That would be another benefit if we had mafia connections. You can't con a con. That's why we need mafia consultants. No mafia advisors on our advisory board.
But at the same time, I'm starting to feel better about a rebirth and something coming together. On our FB, Warren Sergeant is with Bundeep in Paris. Warren Segeant is listed as the "head of finance" at Glass Ventures and he was the CFO of PremFina at one time to my understanding. Maybe he'll be our replacement of a CFO too. Not sure. Because ours is listed as an interum CFO. And Cheryl Kong abandoned us. Still an unsolved mystery there.
HOWEVER, perhaps some deals can be made in Paris. They are actually moving forward on the Glass Slipper website, unlike at Black Insure. It's like this dichotomy of competence in the present perhaps juxtaposed with complete incompetence from the past. At leat the FB page shows they are working.
Glass Slippers VC Fund Progress
And here, dramatic change on our VC fund. Which I assume Warren is going to help merge with Fineqia. Very interesting language used about Fineqia:
Glass Ventures benefits from the institutional compliance ensured by the parent company, Fineqia Intl., publicly listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE).
The Seed Assets Under Management (AUM) and support by Fineqia is building a leading and prudent digital asset management business with a strong regulatory foundation.

That does sound good, actually. That might help our valuation here when it comes to fruition. This sounds particularly interesting:
A unique partnership with Cambridge University's Blockchain Labs
Our UK based research lab was established in collaboration with Cambridge University Blockchain Labs.
Our initial focus is on Cambridge, the ‘technology capital’ of Europe. The university is the birthplace of 23 $1bn ‘Unicorns,’ privately-owned tech companies. Cambridge start-ups raised $1bn in VC funding in 2022 & 2023.
-----------------------------------
We might actually not get conned this time. Rudra I think led us to Phunware and its conman of a CEO. Black Insure's founder took our money and ran. Twice! He took twice! Can't maekt his stuff up. Nivaura marked down to zero. I'm hoping that Cinderella is a better steward of our money. I feel like she might be. I feel like we could be on the cusp of something great here.
Could we have some real investment soon and real product? With a moat, even, perhaps? The fact that we are the only Web4 VC fund to my understanding is a good selling point. I do like the new direction.
