If your decisions are being based off someone else saying it's a sure thing to succeed or fail, without doing your own due diligence, then you're not investing, you are hoping that someone else is trustworthy. Frankly, I don't trust anyone on an internet message board. I'll take what they have to say, analyze the data, and make my own decisions. You should as well.
LWLG s not a sure thing, however, with the names coming aboard, particularly Lebby, provides some insight into what they have. The new advisory board was another huge positive signal.
Academics are built on reputations, and anything harmful to that reputation is avoided at all costs. Lebby came on in a capacity that allowed him to see what he was working with before he committed. He liked it and had so much faith in it, he signed on to be the CEO. That signaled that LWLG had a lot of promise to develop something great.
Since he jumped aboard, they have made steady progress, hit their goals, and have moved into a position to market the devices to prospective customers. Then comes the latest additions: the advisory board. Two of these on the advisory board have backgrounds in production and manufacturing - the very phase LWLG is looking to head to (and has been my biggest concern for a while now).
All of these mentioned came aboard for a nominal reward, they could get more by going somewhere else very easily. If I recall correctly, those on the advisory board are purely compensated in stock options. They would not be taking on this project and compensated only in options unless you think/know those options will be worth something at the time they vest.
Actions speak louder than words and the actions, both past and extremely recent, of those that came aboard are signaling a very bright future for LWLG. They are the closest to the situation, and their compensation is very, very heavily weighted for the long term success of LWLG, yet they all jumped in.
Make your own conclusions with the information you have, but having been associated with a lot of academics throughout my life, I have a good sense of their motivations and feel that what we are seeing them do, we have something special. I still see the biggest risk as production/manufacturing, but with the advisory board having that focus, I view that risk as substantially less than it was 2 months ago.
