The Future of XenoWorx

From: Jacks, Isis Subject: The Future of XenoWorx

Hey there XenoWorkers!

I know there's been LOTS of rumours circulating, so I just want to clear some stuff up, in the spirit of openness and transparency, which you KNOW means a lot to us all here.

First of all, NO, Alterra did not "buy" us. We're still XenoWorx. We're not going to move offices, or start having some kind of hierarchical structure, or even like... making you show up on site or anything like that. (Although you should, for the snacks alone.) We're still the scrappy, agile, research-first, startup you all signed onto.

So what does this "controlling stake" stuff MEAN?

Well... I guess the most direct way to put it is it means MORE. More equipment. More research. More risk. More experimentation. More of everything that makes us great. And most of all, MORE CASH. For you and your research. (And yes, snacks.)

Lina will be in touch pretty soon about exchanging your old gen XenoWorks PDAs for snazzy new Alterra upgrades, and to help you get comfy with some really minor policy changes that are going to help us keep everything running nice and smooth going forward.

So yeah... Congratulations everyone! We did this together, and now we're going to be able to do so much more.

Cheers! Isis Jacks Communications Specialist XenoWorx
