Oh yes.  This company exists in a vacuum, just like all the private capital that&#x27;s propping up your local economy.  I can&#x27;t possibly imagine the mechanism by which the perception of failure might cause private investors to stop investing in things.  Certainly, most investors don&#x27;t read the news or sites like this one, so there&#x27;s no way they might know that the unbridled optimism that fuels growth of unproductive companies could be approaching a precipice.  Investors will obviously stay the course, continue dumping ever more capital into pointless apps and SaaSy startups, not to mention mysterious vaporware technologies like the one in question.  It&#x27;s nothing like that shameful bubble from the late 1990&#x27;s when more public investment was involved, since everyone knows that perception requires a public market.
