Adding to John’s exciting note, besides the upcoming potential 5x mark up to Series A, we are also in the process this week of doubling our Series Seed investment from $250K to $500K, becoming the only institutional investor and the second largest shareholder alongside with a Brazilian family who owns one of the largest livestock companies.  There is tremendous needs in the world for Metabiota’s product.  They are the leader in this frontier market.  This is going to be huge.

Thanks for everyone’s help on assisting Metabiota.  Nathan and Robert like us a lot and vouch for RSTP as a great team.

Also, if you guys could take time to meet with Nathan and Robert when they are in the DC office next week that would be great.
