Grumpy, bad day… I don’t know him, I don’t want to assume character traits or call him names. And if he was a control freak, he’d probably want to also be in control of the financial aspect of every deal to avoid reputational and financial risk.
Anyway, my intention is not to badmouth anyone. I’m just a bit puzzled and express my discomfort with that part of the process so far. I wanted to understand if I should alarmed and worried.
So far it does not sound like anybody here was pulled over the table or did not get what they ordered. It seems like they’re passionate and smart about their products, but, depending on the day, they may just not be in the mood for paperwork, and as a lean operation they don’t hire someone to do it for them. Maybe.
Either way, I don’t feel super comfortable about it. It’s a bit weird, or at least an unusual way to do business. But hey… I hope the product will make up for my mild anxiety.
