FlameTube story, part 3
So, I've sent one of FlameTube samples to the retailer. The answer was: ?I have got the sample today and it looks cool. I am really impressed by that. With our interest please be assure that we will have your products at our shelf as soon as possible.?We signed the contract with their distributor, on even better conditions than they usually do.
It was the time. According to my calculations, I had to find a lot of extra money for tools, certification, packaging, components and manufacturing. German banks and investors was generally interested, but answered: ?Your product is cool. Your plan is good. But you are from Russia, and your residence permit is not permanent! What if Auslaenderbehoerde discontinue your residence? It's risky!?.
I asked Auslaenderbehoerde about that, but they told: ?You don't receive any income yet. No income - no permanent residence?. That was a deadlock...
But is it a reason to stop? Why not to try a crowdfunding campaign? I hired young and hungry marketers from Russia, and work continued!
To be continued.
