Fundraising for Machine Dalal XXVI – Upon this Rock I Shall Build My Cathedral

“When the Gods wish to punish us; they answer our prayers.”

I am a temperate man when it comes to business risks. And up until now, I was not aware that temperance was one of Aristotle’s cardinal virtues. By extension that also makes me virtuous.

And so, begins this tale.

A virtuous temperate businessman walks into an investor’s office and picks up the check. It was more of an online transfer, but you get the idea. There is more drama and action with a check. It is like horses and cars. Cars are spacious, efficient and faster but horses are horses.

But, for practical purposes Machine Dalal is funded.

And we have a new entity for the brand – Eurograf Platforms.

As the journey continues, more shall be revealed.


This is perhaps one of my favorite clips from Better Call Saul.

The quote is from the Bible, so thank you Jesus. I made a change though; for I am the raconteur and a virtuous one too.

Subtleties aside. I needed funds and a partner to help me grow Machine Dalal, and I hope I have made the right choice here. Hence the rock(partner/funds) and the cathedral (product).


This is the first of many first steps.

While the future is promised to no one I would still take this opportunity to celebrate this little win for the road ahead is going to be slippery.

slippery when wet?

We’ll See.
