Life in the Fast Lane

After more than 30 years of serving drinks and food in a convivial

atmosphere, the Rusty Scupper has left port, headed for uncharted

waters. The 50-person staff had less than two days notice of the

shut-down on Saturday, January 3. No decision has been made about what

will be done with the building, whether it will continue as a

restaurant or be used for another purpose.

“The property is not for sale,” says Toby Laughlin, a realtor who is a

part owner. “I am talking to various people, but it is at a

preliminary stage, and I’m open to everything right now.”

Laughlin declined to be specific about why the national restaurant

chain did not renew its lease. “As in any sort of landlord/tenant

situation, you renegotiate rents from time to time, and it was a

matter of not getting together on that.”

The parent company, Select Restaurant Inc. in Cleveland, Ohio, says it

is looking for a new location in Princeton. It owns the liquor license

and has told Princeton Township that the license will go on inactive

status until it is placed at another location or sold.

Like many restaurants in the area, the Scupper seemed to have lost

some business after 9/11. But the owners had been moving aggressively,

with marketing efforts that included a billboard on Route 1, and a new

chef had recently been installed. The Scupper’s second floor was a

gathering place for many professional clubs and singles groups. Last

fall General Wesley Clark’s New Jersey campaign hosted a fundraiser

there.

Laughlin says he regrets the restaurant’s closing: “Over the years

we’ve had a great relationship with the Rusty Scupper.” The 10,000

square foot property was built in 1972 for the Rusty Scupper chain by

Laughlin’s father and another partner. Although Princeton University

owns a small part of the parking lot, and New Jersey Transit has a

right of way through the property, the major part of the land and all

of the buildings is owned half by the Laughlin family, and half by

another family.

A graduate of the Hun School and Colorado College, Class of 1972,

Laughlin has a business, Laughlin Real Estate, on Tamarack Circle in

Skillman and focuses on commercial and residential property management

and development. Formerly he had been developing apartments, but now

he concentrates on telecommunications towers. He sold his first firm,

Princeton Towers Pennsylvania, which had 50 towers, and currently owns

about 20 towers.

Maybe the Scupper’s problem was that it was neither “here nor there,”

neither downtown Princeton, where it could attract foot traffic, or on

Route 1, where it would get more visibility.

Even though 10-year-old Voxware has had success in landing financing,

getting contracts, and increasing revenues, the company’s CEO,

Bathsheba J. Malsheen, is leaving and the CFO, Nicholas Narlin,

resigned last month.

Founded by Michael Goldstein in 1993, Voxware’s current business is

integrated voice-based solutions for distribution and logistics

operations. While the stock sometimes dipped below $1 in its early

years, it has been trading below 20 cents for the past two years. Yet

its revenues doubled from $4 million to $8 million last year. One of

the two biggest investors in the company is Lenox Drive-based Edison

Venture Fund.

The new CEO is Thomas J. Drury, a venture capitalist who has had great

success with Sensar Inc., the Moorestown-based biometrics company that

spun off from Sarnoff Corporation. An alumnus of St. Peter’s College,

he was CEO in 1998 during Sensar’s strong growth period, and has also

been CEO of Micro Dynamics, a document imaging software firm, and Urix

Corp., a voice processing equipment and software company. Drury’s most

recent venture capital firm, BaseCamp 1, is not an investor in

Voxware, says a Voxware spokesperson.

In December 2003 the Voxware landed a $2 million loan from Silicon

Valley Bank to pay off debt and make investments in sales, marketing,

and customer service programs. The loan is secured by the two biggest

stockholders, Edison Venture Fund V and Cross Atlantic Technology Fund

II.

Counting on the company to be profitable in Western Europe, Edison and

the other venture capitalists had led a $5.6 million round of private

financing in June, 2003. Sure enough, on January 5, Voxware announced

that its VoiceLogistics warehouse system is going to be used by a top

global retailer, the French firm Intermarche. Other contracts have

been signed with CooperVision, 7-Eleven, and US Food Service.

Voxware’s controller, Allen M. Adler, has been filling in as interim

CFO since Narlis resigned last month. The stock traded at $.037 on

December 31, 2002, and at $.13 on December 31, 2003.
