our start-up is unfolding

twenty-seven years and one million words

Last week was an interesting one for our little start-up.

We've now had several offers to sell products on our site, and we've been contacted both by someone in the bridal fashion and by a party who claims to want us to meet some potential investors. Thanks also to the articles I wrote on the perils of the diamond jewelry business, I've made some interesting contacts in the industry who've gone a step or two further than we have in insuring ethical sources for their jewelry. I hope to learn a lot from such leaders.

It's particularly interesting to watch our long-term plans come together as they are. Especially after a couple of years of hacking about in obscurity.
