Yes, they basically don't say what they're going to spend the money on. But it may have been (they hint at this) that they didn't need or want the funding so much as to have AH invested in the company. Taking their investment may create som

Maybe so if they do it to shorten the headline, but not if it perverts the meaning. I'd say it's okay as long as they get the point across, but I think this is a mistake--it changes the meaning of the title and still doesn't offer much bene
