First vendor meeting

Today I had my first teleconference with a potential vendor for a component we need in our product. It was interesting talking to the CTO of another similar (although now better established after their recent acquisution by a larger firm) company. The conversation went along well. Since the conference started late, they were concerned that it was getting late for us (since they were on the West coast and it was nearging 5pm our time). We got a few chuckles when we reminded them that we were a startup and 5pm was just half the day :)

I have a good feeling about their product, now if only I can negotiate a better deal on the licensing fees.....
