LordFauntleroy, that is a good point to consider. However, I feel that Ed doesn't necessarily need to make marketing deals where he makes concessions in giving part of the company away. He just needs to get a little creative in generating market buzz such as the suggestion I posted in post #20787. Also call some of the major science publications like Popular Science and Wired magazine. He should continue to hit the major conferences and trade shows.
Lastly, Medizone can also merge/partner with a company that is a synergistic fit but not so big where a large conglomerate can't take over both. One possible candidate that was mentioned earlier was Rollins Inc. (owner of Orkin) courtesy of WIV. Rollins has regional offices worldwide with a well-established name brand recognition with Orkin. I can see a very good symbiotic relationship here with the advantages of AsepticSure technology (post #20897) taking Rollins to new markets dealing in sanitizing (i.e. environmental remediation) and Rollins giving Medizone the name recognition and established sales distribution channels worldwide to introduce the AsepticSure technology.
Rather than having the possibility of AsepticSure technology threaten their survival, Rollins partners with Medizone and provides the financial resources to build out more machines to add to their technologies in battling pests. Rollins, in effect has opened up new multi-billion dollar markets and the possibility of generating substantial cash flow from the sales of run-in kits for AsepticSure machines. The combined partnership would still be small enough for a huge Fortune 500 company such as 3M to initiate a complete takeover and add the AsepticSure technology to their extensive infection control division for the health care industry.
In short, Ed would have enhanced his postion on the bargaining table with a F500 company with a partnership such as Rollins by establishing market presence and gained the financial resources to build out more units. The funding was my major concern... more so than market acceptance. By then, Ed (and Rollins) would be negotiating from a position of strength with the F500 company.
This does seems like a Win-Win-Win situation for everyone.
