Stock in Blurb?

Does anyone know if there is any way to invest in blurb?  I’m impressed with the  product and think that it would be a smart way to invest….Any feedback or suggestions?  I looked it up blurb on Yahho finance, and found no stock info…

Hi,

Blurb is not public, so no stock. Eileen, our CEO, posted this comment to our blog a while ago that gives a little more info:

Many thanks for the vote of confidence; we’re flattered. Unfortunately we are not raising money right now — and frankly if and when we do, it will likely be from institutional investors like venture capitalists.

Hope this helps.

I asked that question and got a similar answer as soon as I received my first book.

An unfortunate attitude.

Yes, you can get more money from vulture capitalists.

No, they will not be as willing and loyal an investment pool as those whose books you publish.

You’ll do as you please, of course, and I’ll take it or leave it.

Still, glad I had my say just now.

Knowing full well I’m 100% right.
