AudioEye: Investment thesis: About six to nine months ago David Moradi (DM) called to tell me he had an interesting private deal that he thought I would be interested in. It would include stock with warrants attached, but I would have to become restricted in the stock. I immediately told him "say no more; I do not want to know anything about this deal because being restricted in any stock is not an option for Tourmaline". There was no way we could tell our most important partner, Blackstone Senfina, or any other client that we are restricted in a stock. He did say it was highly unlikely that they would ever trade in the stock, but he understood. Several months later, I went to dinner with DM; as all our dinners go, we mostly talked about his investments. This is when he told me about AudioEye (AEYE). He told me he had been invested in this company for several years and really liked it. He thought they had a market leading technology that could be used by 5% to 10% of the population who are deaf or blind. The example he used is how does a blind person book and use UBER? There is no phone number to call. He also said that there are laws in place or coming as part of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that would start to force internet sites to provide access for people with these disabilities. Furthermore, one of the members of AEYE board was Tony Coelho who was the primary sponsor of Americans with Disabilities Act. Below is a link that will discuss further ADA compliance and within the article are other links that discuss how large firms like Facebook, Netflix, Southwest Airlines and Target have had lawsuits filed against them for noncompliance to ADA laws.
