Let's discuss Ramji's DC lunch visit on our weekly call.
I arrive in DC Thursday at 7pm and could meetup for a dinner if you guys are available. Otherwise I could meet in the morning prior to Ramji's arrival. He plans to be at the DC office at 11:30 on Friday, 6th. Lets have a meet and greet and then head to lunch from there.
Here is the text of his email regarding the meeting:
"Lunch on the 6th works well on my end - please let me know if you have
a time and / or venue that you prefer. I will be meeting Ari Matusiak
on the 5th afternoon. Ari runs the White House Business Council.
It would be great if we could review the Burgess bill
[govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h112-3207] during our session."

I am not sure if you guys are versed on the Burgess bill, but any insights you have would be good.
His Goal:
Get comfortable he has access to our extended network by virtue of our being investors in Counsyl, both for domestic (medicaid) as well as international (most notably China, Middle East) expansion.
The overarching message to Ramji should be that we have his back and we are ready to make phone calls to key relationships to advance Counsyl's cause.
Our Goal:
We want to make him feel like part of the family.
We want Ramji to be an reference and advocate for RSTP II with potential investors.
His saying we add value would go a long way to getting commitments for the fund. He can also vouch for our differentiated access to deals since they said no to countless VC firms and took our money.
Also note his introductions to the Counsyl individual investor base could also be a great source of capital for us--they were able to raise over $20mm from individuals for their company so we should be able to raise at least that much and potentially multiples of that from them, especially if they see we add value.
I look forward to discussing.
Best,
John
