Point well-taken, BUT in my opinion ....

REMEMBER, In the meantime, possible funders or financial partners are likely being respectful of Poet's autonomy and agnostic function to several significant streams in the IT industry where bigger and better financial arrangements at that time will make more sense for Poet to secure their pole position in both sales and autonomous financial strength.  Emergency funding is short term- a bridge, so we should not confuse the two scenarios.

I suspect there might be strategic parties that prefer to keep it that way for now while the industry shakes out. The share price can be repaired in a nanosecond so that might be why SV has always been confident.
