Investors Needed - Middle East Project

**Gurilla** · 07-03-2009 06:44 PM

Okay so I'm looking for investors that might be interested in investing in the middle east in an industry that is rising really fast.

We are looking for 200-300k

I'd be happy to share any info with interested parties.

Here's a teaser, the annual profit margin for the investor will be in 7 figures.

Here is a teaser.... You won't find investors this way.

Sure investors are always looking for good opportunities but they see around 4/5 posts/ threads and emails like this one. They have to decide whether to waste their time to ask for more info when 90% of investment opportunities are usually jokes.

Make it a bit more attractive in your first ad not in the follow up more info email later on. In that way your response rate will go up.

You won't find people on here looking to put 200-300k into a venture. I would suggest get in contact with the business services department in your local government and see who they could direct you to.

This is a form letter meant to help you improve your post and thereby improve your response. Please keep in mind that many posts, probably just like this one come through here every day asking for money or business partners. This quick form is for others to fill in and is meant to allow people to identify areas that posts commonly lack. This form is meant mostly to point out the flaws in the post, not to award credit for what is done right. Please don't take it personally.

How to read this:

[ ] This is not a box I think applies to you
[x] This is something that I think applies to you.

I think your idea...

[ ] Is good
[ ] Is bad
[x] Not well articulated
[x] Is to generic, you need more of a niche market
[ ] Has been done and hasn't succeeded (Please see post description section)
[ ] Has been done and worked, so expect competition

Ideas come and go, and do not let anyone discourage you from continuing your idea despite what it said here. However if your idea is not received well it would be foolish to not follow up (civilly please) and ask for suggestions.

I think this post..

[ ] IS YELLING AT ME.
[x] Lacks significant detail
[x] Is not selling your idea well
[x] Is not selling you, as a business partner well
[ ] Is hard to read (spelling errors, grammar, l33t speak)
[x] Is asking for a lot of money
[x] Smells like a Nigerian scam
[x] Doesn't specific if your looking for VC, Partner, equity partner

These items are discussed more in a later section. If they are just a quick check box for your reading convenience. Keep in mind everyone who comes through this forum thinks their idea is the next million dollar idea. It may be but you will need to convince the readers.

I think your business proposition...

[x] Is missing a business plan
[x] Is missing market research (and a plan to do so)
[x] Is making outrageous claims
[ ] Is making claims that violate the laws of physics/nature/chemistry/common sense (its been done before)

You need to have a good description of your business in your post. People are more likely to PM you if you have details to let them know your idea is something they would be interested in. Oh and make sure what your claiming is possible because being called out on such a blatant error is embarrassing.

I think this post's comments with regards to you....

[x] Are non-existent
[x] Provides no past business experience
[x] Provides no past niche experience
[x] Provides no indication of being able to meet in real life (mostly important if your asking for large sums of money)
[x] Provides little to no details about your skills.

If your going to attract a partner selling yourself is as important as selling your idea. Why can we trust you? What do you bring to the table?

Extra Comments:
Your posts is asking for a LOT of money an your promising 7 figure returns. You need to legitimize your self because right now it smells like a scam.

Hey man,

I did the complete opposite of this post... and not many responses either. I don't know if we can work together on networking to get my idea operational... I think its a lot more tangible and relatable to the general westernized world than this project, and I really think it has potential.

Not as something new, but to stimulate competition...

I'll PM you as well.

Hey all,

If you need an investor and have a good business plan/investor packet...I may be able to hook you up with a loan investor.

Message me and we can talk.
