If Dean remembered correctly, Go Company had just completed its third round of financing in October last year.
Back then, he had even agreed to act as a middleman for Durell, helping AOL to find venture capital.
Dean vividly recalled that there were about seven or eight investors who showed great interest in Go Company's handwritten computer.
According to the promises made by the three founders of Go Company, including Kapur,
with an additional four to five million US dollars, Go Company could manufacture its first batch of prototypes.
At that time, they had received the money, and Dean was present at the scene.
But now Durell was telling him that Go Company was facing a crisis?
"Durell, I remember Kapur and the others saying that the development of the Penpoint system was going smoothly," Dean said.
If the system issues were resolved, then the development work on this handwritten computer was essentially more than halfway done.
