Assuming they have progressed and are feeling confident of market introduction, then this is what you'd expect. One mistake many startups make is to hire the sales/marketing/cust-srvc way too early... not much for those folks to do when you don't even know if you're going to have a viable product! In DGT's case, with such a new and unknown technology, they should have put ~70% of their human resources into the technical expertise needed for R&D. Now that they (hopefully) are past the risky part and near certainty on first market introduction, it's time to build up the sales, marketing, manufacturing, customer service, etc. resources.

These jobs are mainly just for support and manufacturing. -mark -----Original Message----- From: Alan J Fletcher [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2012 12:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:"Progress Photographs" pdf from Defkalion Green Technologies At 11:56 AM 5/11/2012, Bastiaan Bergman wrote: >3 Mechanical engineers, 2 Chemical engineers and 1 electrical >26 other (sales, overhead) >Quite a different ratio from the typical Silicon Valley start-up And no >phycisist, no word about radiation, nuclear physics, analysis >techniques that could reveal the details of the proces,.. The previous 21 jobs were mostly development. (Albeit no physicists). Those are not re-listed, so they presumably had enough applicants. (Not a problem, I suspect, in Greece).
