"I was expecting to only raise $100-200K from the Angel Forum and we are rapidly approaching $1million with $865k raised to date and more on the way.

"The success of raising $865k to date directly from the Angel Forum has provided us with more than enough funds to drive our product and market development.

Now we have options for financing that puts us in the driver's seat." Eric Winsborrow, ZanttZ Inc
