... you get the picture by now. Most people who put together a business plan and try and get funding will probably not get funding. Those companies that have followed the steps I've hinted at DO have a shot at funding. There is a fund being set up just for the funding of companies in the AI area, and that would be a logical place to start. Yes, some of the big-machine companies have failed. Yes, investors have been burned, and most of them are staying away. Yes, there has been too much "smoke and mirrors" about AI. But... investments are STILL being made in expert systems companies. But to get YOUR shot, you have to BUILD a venture that IS AN ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT. Ca or write -- I'll help if I can. Barry Stevens, PO Box 2747, Del Mar, CA 92014. 619-755-7231
