These well-engineered factors might greatly increase Riya's valuation and the VC money could be actually pretty cheap for them. It would be much harder to do that at the later stages after everyone realized that they do not match expectations. I believe that Riya made a smart move raising $19M.</p>mamersThu, 21 Dec 2006 22:19:02 -0000http://disruptivethoughts.com/2006/12/21/what-riya-did-wrong-contd/#comment-5731300<p>Brilliant !<br>I love that ... know we need to evangelize the rest of the VC world !</p>leafarThu, 21 Dec 2006 19:19:55 -0000http://disruptivethoughts.com/2006/12/21/what-riya-did-wrong-contd/#comment-5731302<p>Brilliant !
