My guess is, and I’ve not visited
with these guys directly yet, though I’ve sought audience, is the
handheld market, embedded markets, etc. Heman From:

I just had a fun conversation with Lew. He and I discussed an article in
the September issue of Business 2.0, the 20 Smartest Companies To Start Now.
Number 2 in the article is a VC looking for a flyweight database. The
article isn't posted online yet as I write this, but could be shortly.
Lew and I would like any and all comments back regarding DataPerfect's fit in
addressing the need stated here. Bruce & Thom, would you two comment
and engage on this discussion in particular? Thanks, In
a nutshell, the article states: Draper (the VC) loves startups that can upend
corporate giants with simple products and cheap technology. Oracle, IBM,
and Microsoft have had a stranglehold on the $13.8 billion database business
for more than a decade, and while newer players like MySQL are making a dent,
Draper thinks there's an opening for a startup that can deliver most of the
benefits of standard Big Blue products without millions of lines of code or an
army of consultants and IT managers. This
little article blurb lends me to think (and Lew as well) that DP would play
well here. We intend to discover the reality of that. So please chime in
and give some input and feedback. I've started my investigation to
discover more specifically what this guy is looking for, and preparing for a
presentation to them. Thanks, Heman +1.801.368.9398 --
