The names of our Board of Directors should assure potential customers that POET is longterm and plans to be around for a very long time.  So as we get closer to significant sales that becomes important for a company selecting our product. It's like one needs 'experience' to get their first job, but they don't have 'experience' to get even an interview.

People in the past often wondered why such big names of people came to POET. The "feeding at the trough" conspiratorial theories would come up. But it is when the real sales are about to happen, then in addition to great products, the big names on our Board of Directors give such potential customers confidence to deal with POET beside it actually being part of big-corporate's due diligence as well.

Suresh has a past record of building a company from scraps to a couple billion market cap. So the potential customers that get to know POET would think positive about this as well.
