I can't imagine he's thought that far ahead. He's just looking at how much money is in their bank account.

Everything is going fine in the uDream world. :horse:
"Over the past 18 months, our team of 30 engineers has been singularly focused on the miniaturization of the technology, to enable us in 2019 to provide reference design kits to our manufacturing partners and customers so that they can integrate it into their diverse range of products," said McElrea. "By developing the complete turn-key solution, from industry-leading transducers, to custom ASICs, control electronics, hardware and software, we have created an end-to-end solution, as well as the associated IP, which currently totals over 100 patents and applications."

Current head count seems to be 22 according to the latest team photo at https://ubeam.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/teamphotobw2019.jpg .
I kind of feel sorry for the remaining engineers... they probably they were just trying to do a good job but were put in an impossible situation by an ignorant CEO. I've been there too... when top management (in a technology company) doesn't really understand the core technology, things tend to blow up sooner or later.

Unless I’m very much mistaken, that photograph shows a lot of untrustworthy linear thinking engineers with binary approaches, perhaps several with Aspergers, and too many with letters after their name. Those people won’t think out of the box enough to come up with a practical solution to charge a phone.
Just a few hours on Google and $40m will easily provide the solution.

Is the new CEO telling porky pies already.
If they really have had 30 engineers working for eighteen months on the miniaturization of nothing, surely even the daftest investors can see that uDream is just a scam. :horse:
