Update: 2026-10-02 - Michael Re-Engaging After 2-Month Gap
Source: Email “Rye Valley <> Audiopool: Next Steps” (michael@ryevalley.co to jeremy@audiopool.io, Oct 2)
Michael sent “Hey Jeremy, how are things progressing?” - a direct re-engagement after approximately 60 days of silence since the Aug 2 confirmation. No reply from Jeremy captured in this window.
Business fact: Deal has been dormant since August. Michael initiated contact on Oct 2. Status of Audiopool’s $2M raise and platform launch (targeted Aug 4) is unknown. If Jeremy does not respond, this deal should be marked at risk of going cold.
