I'd say that's probably more than sufficient - Of course I'm biased given what we accomplished at XSPRADA with a 1/6th of that! :) -- But then we didn't have the deep pockets either, and that's when a company gets reaaally creative.

In either case, if they cut some engineering deadwood post-funding, that's not really unusual (in my experience anyway) - I would imagine they're now flying at a pretty stable flight level engineering wise. It's on the sales/marketing/PR angle I suppose they will hit hard now. Of course this is all speculation on my part.
