Commited to an idea

Today's story about the Notion music notation software developed and marketed by a Greensboro company has an interesting back story that we couldn't publish because of space limits.

When Lori and Jack Jarrett had trouble finding venture capital to bankroll VirtuosoWorks, their company, they turned to Lori's husband's native country.

Rahm Sethuraman is a native of India. Through his brother, they found investors in India who would support the company.

So Lori and Jack moved to India to do early development on the software. They even had to teach their programmers Western style music notation from scratch.

When they moved back to Greensboro a couple of years ago, they brought five Indian programmers with them. It's unusual to see this kind of "in-sourcing" when we're used to seeing jobs exported to other countries.

It's also an indication of Lori, Jack and Rahm's commitment to succeeding with this new product.
