    Ricardo ha liderado un proyecto exitoso de codigo abierto, tiene pasion y talento.  Llego la hora, segun yo, de que uno o mas inversionistas analizen la posibilidad de fondearlo para atacar este mercado que tiene excelentes perspectivas de crecer.  Obviamente, Ricardo tendria que comprobarles que tiene la vision y el poder de construir el equipo para lograr sus objetivos. Sin embargo, despues de hablar con el sobre su experiencia y conocerlo un poco, algo me dice que esto no esta fuera de su alcance. :)

Now comes the news that Sequoia and some Angels have invested in Unity who “plays” in the same space. Interestingly, Unity reports less customers (325) than Cocos2d.

    Sequoia and the Angels have most certainly laid out some funds because they see excellent growth in this space.  Aside from this, I’m sure they were favorably impressed with Unity’s offering and its management team.  Ricardo is hard at work at polishing his product, which is on it’s 0.82 release.  Nevertheless, as soon as he finishes this phase, it would be great if he could build a team (I’m sure he can build a capable one) and get one or more backers to fulfill the potential of Cocos2d. Go Ricardo Go!
