Are you an investor? Have you pitched to one?

My guess is no. I HAVE.
PR is great, but what investors look for in SV is mostly one thing: TRACTION TRACTION TRACTION.

Steam is doing traction just fine

It's seeing an explosion of traffic and maintaining this is the most important thing they can do. Any PR should be about bringing users. Normal users really don't need to know all the nuances to join, and can be educated later.

They are doing it right.

Hive account@summon is just responding with the truth. Small, extremely skilled teams are orders of magnitude faster than big teams. And I know from experience: I manage dev for a digital agency doing work in sports and entertainment. these are multi-million dollar deals and the team size is under 10.

The info you want is often private.

Other than traction, VCs look at team. The team at Hive account@steemit is very very experienced in the crypto realm. Hive account@dantheman comes from bitshares and was looking at blockchain tech in the early days of bitcoin. The rest have similar experience.

** Basically: There is nothing for them to manage. Steemit is working about as perfect as you could hope for an alpha/beta project.

They are learning as they go, and fixing things. But things are fine, don't worry.
