This could be big problem for them and i think this is the case, they lack manpower and looks like they will have to make some decisions and hire more people they trust in order to stay in touch with their potential investors.
A lack in manpower is not a problem that you can't overcome. They have a clear concept and just need to sort out how to materialize it.
if they need new people they're gonna hire them after the ICO , when full development will start.
dimao is right though blockchain is a very hot topic these days and strong developers are a scarce resource. I hope they can convince some of the best to work for REPU.
