We are bracing for yet another storm out East, old man winter just won’t quit. > > I have worked with my team in DC over the last few days and we put together an approach and a proposal for you to review. Please take a look and give us your candid thoughts and feedback. The goal for us would be to make the Artiman portfolio and relationship a daily priority for me and the team. > > Once you have a had a chance to review, we could set up a call to discuss - tomorrow or Friday or next week. Also, I can come out to see you in Palo Alto and we could sit together and walk through it. I can come out next week or the following week. Alternatively, we could also meet in Washington and you could see the rest of the Advisory team have a discussion of how we will working to help accelerate the markets and navigate policy for your the portfolio companies. > > All the best, > > Neil > > Neil Callahan > Rosemont Seneca Partners > 401 Greenwich Street, Suite 300 > New York, New York 10013 > 917-945-9516 (m) > 866-749-8879 (f) > www.rosemontsenecatech.com > Confidentiality Warning: This e-mail contains information intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.

Thank you > > From: Amit Shah [mailto:amit@artiman.com] > Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2014 3:02 PM > To: ncallahan@rosemontseneca.com; Eugene Lee; Brian Wilcove > Subject: RE: Great meeting you > > Neil, > > Thank you for taking the time in the first place! > > We enjoyed the meeting as well and your candor and perspectives on how you have leveraged your skills, opportunities and connections was awesome. As a result, we are willing to overlook the rather “low” bar you have for a “successful day” and suggest we make all your suggestions below more concrete. > > How would you like to proceed on each of the companies. I like your thoughts and while some are longer term, Prysm and Zspace are concrete and shorter term. Can you suggest the relationship and next steps? And please do not be coy in terms of asks (such as investment dollars, options, commissions,….). I work on the fairness principle: if the company benefits I want you to benefit. > > Thanks and talk to you soon > > Amit > > From: Neil Callahan (Rosemont Seneca) [mailto:ncallahan@rosemontseneca.com] > Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2014 11:49 AM > To: Amit Shah; Eugene Lee; Brian Wilcove > Subject: Great meeting you > > Hi Amit, Brian and Eugene, > > Thank you for the warm hospitality last Thursday. I truly enjoy meeting both Amit and Brian for the first time. And any day I get to spend with Eugene is a successful day in my book. > > You have built such a unique and inviting environment to foster true thinking and perspective taking and creating enviable results for your investors and entrepreneurs. And your focus of backing concepts designed to have impact and change our world is something the world’s need more of – the world doesn’t need another photo sharing app J!! > > I welcome the opportunity to build a meaningful relationship. > > I enjoyed our visits to zSpace and Prysm. > > A Prysm screen should be in the White House Situation Room full stop – let’s figure out how to make the happen. > > For zSpace, I need to get a demo box to Lexus in the next week or so, they are launching two new cars (the NX and the RC http://www.lexus.com/concept/comingsoon), and a colleague of mine is pitching the business to launch them and I am helping advise on use of technology in the brand – we could get a 1 or 2 zSpace machines in each of the 220 Lexus dealership which is a beach head to enter Toyota. > > Guavus looks extremely well-funded, getting big, long term revenue is the next step I’d think – would love to help here. > > Aditazz looks amazing – Africa, the Middle East, South America are places to create a long term strategy for – we believe in the 100 year view on Africa and have good relationship with One, Care, Clinton Global, World Food Program – all see Africa as their most important continent. Also in the US – Schools are being completely redesigned to be all day facilities – 7am to 6pm environments, etc. We can help with Governors, Mayors, etc. Have you followed the work Sugata Mitra is doing with SOLE? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_Organised_Learning_Environment, http://www.ted.com/talks/sugata_mitra_build_a_school_in_the_cloud.html. I think Prysm screens in newly laid out “schools” build by Aditazz could be the future of group learning for kids and adults, and older adults trying to learn new skills . . . I’d love to run the SOLE requirements through the Aditazz algorithm and see what layout and concept is recommended. > > And the rest of your portfolio is just as interesting. Would love to learn more. > > Let me know how you’d like to follow up. I’ll be out in LA later in the month and can come up to SF for a couple of days as well. > > All the best, > > Neil > > > Neil Callahan > Rosemont Seneca Partners > 401 Greenwich Street, Suite 300 > New York, New York 10013 > 917-945-9516 (m) > 866-749-8879 (f) > www.rosemontsenecatech.com > Confidentiality Warning: This e-mail contains information intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.
