I understand second and third round investments are more likely to happen - as <a href="http://www.cnet.com/8301-13505_1-9854919-16.html" rel="nofollow">seen also with SAP Venture</a> - in the next future, but I believe that there is plenty of blue ocean opportunities out there. Stay tuned, next week I will post about one of them.. ;-) Hi Dirk,

In fact, if going open source is all you have to differentiate yourself, I'm pretty sure you won't get any funding at all, at least not from a first-tier VC. I find it weird to see hear that Open Bravo would not be in the ERP pavillion. What were they thinking?
