Ah...and therein lies the problem:
The quote from Management email: " I talked to a lot of investors, and I find many have unrealistic expectations, thinking we'd get our first multimillion dollar deal within days of making the product publicly available. That's not realistic, and no one here inside the Company expected that."
Why unrealistic expectations?... Who communicated the message?
Perhaps when management takes responsibility for the response to the message...the correct message and understanding will occur in the future.
In the meantime, would the true and clear message have been too disappointing at the time it was given? Was it intentionally vague or less clear in time-frame to keep investors "in the game"?
Perhaps the clearer more accurate message would have been: "This is a BETA launch and it could take us up to 6 months to develop and launch the full commercially viable version...so sit back and enjoy the ride".
We all know where the SP would have gone ... probably where it is now.
