Dear philipwhite,

Thank you for your suggestions.

Well, I think when you are looking for investors the whole process should be a bit more confidential at all. As you may guess I have a lot of web sites with real emails as well...This is a step, however, you should not take at this point revealing all the information possible to the general public over web forums...so anyone could recognize you and know that you are looking for investors and match your projects with this process?which additionally may negatively affect some of your clients, partners, suppliers, community and so on..

There are additionally a few other concerns such as patent issues, trade marks and services, industry specific information that should be taken into consideration when you are going to use public forums in the process of looking for investors and partners..

To determine how serious any forum posting might be is left to the people whom this posting is addressed to?and this is more important, I think, than if you look what kind of email the poster has used.

If you are coming in as an accredited private investor I'd be happy to show you that I am serious in what I have written.

Additionally, I agree to what you have said about any large scale project that should be backed up by a large corporation or venture fund, however, at this point my projects are still in seed/startup stages where an angel investor could take an advantage acquiring a substantial stake for a relatively small equity investment and make a great deal before VCs time or going public?

This is the right time for me to look for such an angel investor?and not for large corporations, solid venture capital funds or preparing Reg. D private placements.

I need a wealthy partner that could determine the merit of my projects and decide whether to jump in or not.

Often these angels are successful entrepreneurs or CEOs of huge corporations or company divisions so I think you should not be worried about them that they could make wrong decision in putting their money to work.

However, the risk associated with this stage is more, of course, but the possible gain is huge upon success and could not be compared to simply buy shares of blue chips?and after all the gain is not only money for successful entrepreneurs.

Thank you for your time.
