Why bother with the the venture hassle. (Score 1)

I'd recommend that the just sell shares in the
company to ordinary folk, just like Real Goods
and Sam Adams did. Make an offer on slashdot
and have people sign up on their web site. I'd
be in for a few hundred bucks if they did this.
I bet they could raise a mil without breaking into
a sweat. Might be a good way to expand slashdot
as well :-) I don't think all of the reporting
hassles kick in until the shares are publicly
traded...
