The market is certainly getting attention with number of new players, each trying to find a niche. In our case, we have restricted to two document formats (.doc and .pdfs) and will concentrate on business customers. http://www.edocr.com is not about document share, but it's about providing a rich distribution and marketing channel for business documents. Our aim has always been to develop the product fully before seeking external funding. We had a significant set back recently due to teaming up with the wrong supplier. This has led us to explore the possibility of raising funding early to support product development, product management, and sales and marketing. Our model relies less on advertising and heavily on value addition. Bit early days to comment on fund raising. But early feedback is very promising. We are also encouraged by Saul Klein's investment into slideshare, which demonstrates the maturity of UK investors. Slideshare has influenced our thinking more than our so called US competitors. Whilst we do not compete with Slideshare, we see the edocr opportunity far greater than what is possible with Slideshare. By concentrating on business user, we can finally help businesses evaluate the impact of web 2.0 technologies within the enterprise. We now seek out an exceptional individual who can take 100% responsibility for product development and management (call him/her a CTO if you wish). If you know anyone who can help us move to the next key milestone and beyond, do send him/her my way. But please, do the necessary research before approaching. Lot more work to do..Catch you at SeedFund BBQ this Thursday. Thanks for mentioning us Mike. The market is certainly getting attention with number of new players, each trying to find a niche.
