Angel / Partner / Capitalist for: Multi-million dollar e-business project...

I think this might be of great interest to every accredited investor...

I am sole e-business entrepreneur with vast experience in the sector (since 1995). I have a multi-million dollar e-business project in place organized in a group of 30+ large-scale innovative projected companies. Some of the projects are launched already; others are in process of development; some in R&D stage...

Currently I am actively looking for a wealthy partner / angel / venture capitalist to back me up and help me get off the ground as in return I am ready to give up a substantial equity percentage in all projects invented and developed so far plus the same percentage in all projects that I would potentially invent at future. The ultimate goal of the ?Group? (over 30 projected innovative companies, concepts and business models) is to perform a successful IPO and become a $50 / $100M company. Most of the projects are leading in their particular sectors and market niches having both many competitive advantages implemented and huge growth potential.

Comprehensive business plan is available upon request.

This is the right time to take over a group of innovative and aggressive startups that would be valued millions at future while engaging relatively small amount of capital at this seed/startup stage.

If this is what makes you excited enough then I would be happy to furnish you with much more information and open a dialogue with you in an effort to move quickly.

Vgroup, I reccomend you get a real email address so that investors can take you serious. Many people including myself don't put a lot of faith in websites or email address hosted on free servers. Its a small price to pay but it establishes yourself as a more serious player.

I also suggest that any individual investor take any opportunity at venture capital investments with a grain of salt. Most venture capital projects that succed are backed by large corporations and they usually have some oversite power in determining the ultimate outcome of a project. A large percentage of individual investors in VC get douped. Its something best left for pros.

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.

Vgroup...

I am curious to know what type of Reg D you are looking to structure, or have already?

504?
506?
504, 144 common stock?
10SB?

Also, have you filled the 35 Sophisticated Investor slots yet? Some times it is easier to get the Accredited Investors after you get a few Sophisticated Investors. Don't forget to focus on a strong Management Team

Well, actually I have never said in my forum postings that I have any Reg. D in place, or that I am in position to prepare such ones at present?

Basically, I look for a wealthy partner (angel) rather than a group of accredited private investors by executing any public offering? silent or active, whatever comes?

As I mention in my previous postings I am sole e-business entrepreneur and although my solid practical experience is a considerable advantage I have no strong management team in place yet?

I have just a group of projects in place, working over them since 1997, some of them are developed already and launched on-line, but no corporation incorporated or associated with, others are in process of active development now while the rest are in R&D stage and still only concepts, business models etc?.some of them are patentable concepts, others not?some of them are huge projects with perspective to grow to popular global e-brands with solid entry barriers, others are relatively smaller but smarter etc?but all of them have their own competitive advantages and are strictly e-business oriented and there is where I stay focused on?I do e-business modeling?which generally leads me to the conclusion, based on my experience in the sector, that it is possible for the whole group in the form of a single company or some kind of holdings to pursue an IPO at future?if well capitalized and taken by the right people from now on?

So I think I have reached to the point where I need an external help in the face of a wealthy partner (angel) to help me get off the ground and take me to the next level?or simply to team up with me and from then on we would together decide whether and what type of further funding we would need or not at all?In return, of course, I am ready to give up a substantial equity percentage in everything being invented and structured so far plus anything I would potentially invent and structure at future?Frankly, I am willing to have my projects up and running with or without myself involved? because I sincerely believe to have some very good projects in place, including in the philanthropy industry, that could potentially become very beneficial to the general public on a long term run?

To prepare whatever Regulation D offering, I would be in need from all of the following, but no limited to, and listed in no particular order?I need well positioned company, well organized structure of that company, management team formed, advisors board engaged, attorneys, consultants, banks, papers, revenues established and a lot more?so being said that I am not in position to do so at present?

Thank you,
vgroup

angel

The issue is you need to file with the SEC on the sale of any securities --- and you have to be careful on what you disclose to the public (including message board)

Here is a review of accredited investor requirements / regulations:

Lightbulb How to create and enterprise of mid class people

Hello
I have the idea of create a computer store with the money of many mid class people, this store would be property of all them, including me, we all would be owners of this starting business.

Lets say 30 persons give $1000 each one, then we have $30.000
It sounds like its not enough, because the most important parts are that this enterprise will have dinamic and constant publicity on TV, or newspapers, streets, and will have to import its own computers or computer parts.

Then my questions are:

Where to buy? can an enterprise buy cheap from a major distributor in the united states?, is it possible to buy cheaper in another country like China by example? In what cities?
How much would it cost and where to transport?
How much would cost the transport, lets say by Ship

How much is the price of a pentium IV computer 2.8 GHZ from a distributor in the USA (complete with CPU, Monitor and everything, without Operative System)?

How much would it cost to transport this computer by sea, tell me the aproximate cost of any number of this computers if you can please.

Please give me any ideas you have about this, including how much money do you think I would need, or how to find this group of people, anything you can say please.
Thanks
