Seeking $10,000-$15,000 investor.

[windroadtosuccess]

Hello YE, I have an amazing idea for an online website. Guaranteed to make large sums of money, it's proven to work, yet it is a very original spin off something that worked very well. Only one problem, we need an investor to get this venture started. If you are serious about investing 10-15 Grand then please send me an email at Geoff.Coderre@gmail.com, or send me a PM. We are offering large percentages. Thank you very much, serious inquiries only!
Take care Young Entrepreneur community!

Maybe you should at LEAST give us a general idea of the investment.

Try the Founders Fund or the Founder Co-op. Some angels specifically want original website applications etc. Hope you have a business plan and budget to go with that enthusiasm.

Interesting pitch.... actually, no, it's not.

If you are wanting seed capital, then learn how to pitch a concept.

Step One: Pick the Venue
-- You are not going to find someone on YE that is blindly going to give you $10k-$15k seed capital for a Website. Reason? I can hire someone to build ANY type of site I want for under $1000... where is the rest of the money going?

Step 2: Ambition
--- Why do you need $10k-$15k? What is that going to buy you, in the grand scheme of things? If you seriously think that this is a money maker, scale it to the extreme, and then pitch THAT to investors. Show a total need of $500,000 - $1.5 million, but offer them a chance to buy into the company in $10k increments. Build a business plan (notice I said Build, not just write) that shows how every last cent of their money is going to be used, and why it should go to you, and not someone else.

Step 3: It takes 2 to make a home, 200 to make a dynasty.
--- Develop a team of experienced, talented, and Motivated people that can guarantee success just by getting involved in the project. Don't be afraid to pitch your project to a couple of business celebs or up-and-comers -- the worst that they can say is no. Ask them if they would be interested in joining you IF all of the seed money comes in. IF they say yes, then have nothing to lose- only gain from their involvement.

Step 4: Sell it!
--- Make them drool. Make them scramble to get in on the deal. Make them believe deep inside their naive little minds that this is a ONE OF A KIND opportunity that their biggest nemesis is going to snap up as soon as they hear about it. Bring up the big guns (Google, Facebook, YE... :-), but show them how you can do it BETTER. Sell your Team, and praise every member as being the next Mark Zuckerberg or Chris Hughes.

Step 5: Run Away!
--- Back away from the concept, let things sit, and come to the table with a fresh outlook on what you are planning to to. If you followed the steps correctly, you should now be holding a check with more zero's on it than your name spelled in binary (if you don't get it, then hire someone else to run things for you and retire to the islands). When you go to spend the dough -- don't. Make sure you find someone to consult you on how to spend it wisely, but someone that will also console you when it's all gone and the investors are knocking at your door.

Step 6: Call Me
--- Now that you are set, you can actually afford to get some real advice from me. Give me a ring, tell me that Plan 0017419 worked, and I'll even give you 20% off of my regular rates. (BTW, Plan 0017419 may just be an actual coupon code). If you decide to risk it and proceed without me be warned- losing half a million dollars isn't something to brag about :-) Just a friendly suggestion!
