Hi Deniss
As alluded to previously the main beneficiaries of comet funding seems
to be the advisors, ip lawyers and other consultants that enterprises
are permitted to engage under the comet program. It's certainly not
bootstrap funding, you really need to have already done the hard yards
and be at the point of taking your fully developed product to market.
Call me cynical, but that's been my first hand experience as an
employee of a startup which received comet funding. Others may of
course have an alternative view...
Cheers,
Warren
