I know that some don’t believe AG are worth the money they are being paid . That’s a genuine concern for some and best dealt with by raising with the company directly as it’s unlikely any company (let alone a small start-up) would attempt to detail the ongoing operational actions undertaken by an advisory, promotional or introductory consultancy engaged to assist in bringing interested parties to the company’s attention. These companies could well want confidentiality and in fact progress (once satisfied and ready) to bring the one(s) that bring a deal of the century to company and investors alike - until they do its very hard to measure success and failure can only be claimed if they don’t in the required timescale - probably by the time mine financing is required.
