    The $80 million price tag wouldn't have been achieved if they hadn't raised $80 million first. When an acquisition sells at the same price as money raised, good sign the company is…

    That’s the problem with paid apps... but I also believe now it’s a problem with devs not validating the app receipt to check for refunds and prevent access. For in-app purchases, u…

    "for less than they had raised" - that's actually not true and sloppy journalism from the journalists that wrote it. If you look at North's funding - the difference between the sus…

    "able to maintain their own lifestyles using grants from the Canadian government" - that's absolutely false. North/Thalmic was flush with cash for a long time, and though their Myo…
