It would be difficult for me to believe someone like John Doerr at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers would pass on the chance to put mega-millions into POET, once they understand what POET is sitting on. Even though his firm generally gets in at the pre-IPO stage. After all, this guy worked at Intel and he should know very well the current predicament of Moore's law.

From the portion of this article that discusses Venture Funding:
In 2008 he announced with Steve Jobs the Kleiner Perkins $100 million iFund, declaring the iPhone "more important than the personal computer" because "it knows who you are" and "where you are." In April 2010, he along with another iFund members announced an increase in iFund's value by another $100 million, making iFund the worlds biggest investment pool in cell phone application industry. He currently serves on the boards of Google, Amyris Biotech and Zynga. Doerr led Kleiner Perkins's $150 million investment in Twitter.
I'm not implying that the iFund would be an appropriate vehicle for POET, just that Doerr is intensely focused on the very kinds of tech POET offers.
