How advanced do prototypes have to be? For example, did loopt have a prototype? If not, how did they demonstrate their ability in embedded systems programming? If they did, did they bring in a hacked up cell phone?

The more the better, obviously, but you don't have to build anything. We would have funded Loopt after nothing more than talking to Sam about his plans.
I don't remember exactly how far they were along then. I think they may have had a simple app running on phones, but with simulated location info.
