We will definitely see a raise in the autumn, everyone knows that. But that's 6 months away. If Elevate has 10,000 paid users by then, then the raise will be at well above 10p IMO.
My understanding is that the payment gateway went live to test it with a handful of paid users and make sure it didn't fall over, they said from their experience of other companies that payment gateways often caused big problems. They said they'd got payments in multiple currencies and it was working fine - I'm very pleased to hear it.
Yes Elevate is not 'quite' ready, but in reality it will never be 100% ready as there will always be new features to add. IMO it's currently fully useful and usable, but the company showed a feature list they wanted to implement in Q1 (ie by the end of this month!) including commenting (killer feature for collaboration) before ramping up the big marketing. We have to trust the management, or else we should sell up and move on.
I'm happy with progress, I would have liked them to have gone faster but given that they have limited cash, they couldn't afford to make expensive mistakes.
And don't forget that Streater and McDonough have many millions of reasons to make Elevate work... Including 1M that IM bought at 28p!
