Only a rescue package will do here6 Sep 2016 07:06
I know there are several diehard supporters of Matt Cooper and IMTK who spent a lot of time whipping up support for the last placing almost as if " the Golden Fleece" had eventually been discovered and it would be onwards and upwards from here. Audacious claims to be the worlds ' first full service innovations consulting and software company' sounds fantastic and I must admit, during the last placing round their business document was impressive and nearly tempted me to forget the past, but fortunately I caught my senses just in time.
What didn't help was when for months previous one or two IMTK adopted an 'impartial guard' die for Cesar type approached and banged on about IMTK on the brink of breaking even blah blah blah and that the wicked Rob Terry and his devil deciples needed to be cast into a pit of vipers to enable Matt Cooper and the BOD to drive the company forward. I won't mention names to avoid the crying and facing a ban but their occasional interjections to fly the IMTK break even flag turned out to have more holes in it than a ' secondhand dartboard'. Of course with the skillfull intimations of the break even prospect ringing in people's ears investors were mesmerised and taken in with the prospect of finally achieving decent returns only for the year figures end report to reveal increased client lists but the prospects of break even as realistic as the Brexit bunch passing lie detector tests.
Investors put there money into companies with the prospect that they will partake in the companies ambitious growth strategies and thus reap benefits as the company profits accelorate. If you invested serious amounts of money in this company you would have seen your small kids or grandkids literally enter secondary school and onto college and still have nothing to show but depleted red figures next to IMTK. The management have a brass neck and continue to have an almost ' cult like grip on investors' like something out of a 'Charles Manson' movie. I fear investors are now too embarrassed to admit that they're bought a ' lame pup' that ain't going to get better ot return anything resembling profits anytime soon. It's a classic case of a highly intelligent group of like minded BOD members driven by a passionate CEO with a brilliant software and business model but " little clue about effective marketing, pricing, sales, strategic growth market philosophies and most importantly, when to enlist external expertise.
IMTK have made it plain on several occastions that any outside interference or even suggestions of partnerships will be rebuffed and indeed they have been so hostile in this respect and spent time 'marking their turf' though to speak is it any wonder that despite annual talk of " take over bids" for this ' worlds first ' full-service innovations consulting and software company' remember, apart from the failed attempt by QPE/Rob Terry nobody else has even bothered.
One of my worst investment
