Hi all,

do you know where to find an investor for about $100,000 ?
I will be looking for either a partner or an investor that wants a percentage of the business.

My plans all involve IM, so the investor has to know a little about this.

Do you know where to find these kind of investors?
Angel Networds, Dragons Den, Private Investors.....anything.

Any tips would be welcome

Regards,

Mike

      Thanks Matt,

      would that go for any country?
      I'm in the Netherlands and we had a rpogram for it on TV, but never saw any way to go with it outside TV.

    Dealing with investors, and being one myself...

    Forget Dragon's Den, at $100,000 your looking specifically for an angel investor group, they don't take as much control as a VC group. Search for angel groups in your area/country. It's easier to find them in the USA, more specifcally in NYC.

    Your going to need a real business plan, not just an idea and a email. Be prepared to hear NO about 100 times before finding your investor, and make sure to have a strong executive summary.

    Why would you need so much seed money for an IM venture? You can usually start a company for a thousand bucks and easily grow it from there. There are plenty of angel investing networks but realistically it requires personal networking. I'd start with entrepreneur groups in your area and work from there.

      I need that kind of money because I have a few BIG ideas to make money gast and huge.
      That is why I need a big investment, it takes money to make money.

    Mike,

    Well in that case, send me a PM with the basic overview, and I'll see if it would strike my groups interest, and I'll give you a contact to send the BP.

    I have a few connections with some USA groups that have worked with overseas accounts before as well. Shoot me a message.

    Whats the rush?

    Is your business plan time sensitive?

    If "know how to make money", then make some smaller amounts and scale up with the income, then have your own $100k.

    If you know how to make huge money fast then go get a bank loan, or are you looking for a partner who can bring something to the table that you lack?

    Thanks

      Hi Andy,

      thanks for your reply!
      I just don't like banks, not personal enough.
      I can get the money from them in a few days.
      Already checked that, but I want to be able to work with a business owner. His insight and also more personal.

      That is just me

      regards,

      Most Angels and VC nowadays don't look to invest in IM biz. Plus ideas are cheap. Brilliant ideas are not worth a lot compared to Brilliant executions. If you only have a business plan and an idea, you most likely will never get any money from Angels and VC.

      The best way for you to do is either start a small scale of the IM biz you want to venture in, then you can find Angels and VC and be able to prove the projected revenue by injecting more money into it. Either that or you have a great technical team with great track records ready to work.

      Even then, it's hard to get money from them, since most Angels and VC looks for big return.. and i don't mean big as in i make 1M a year big, i mean big as in An exit plan with ROI in hundreds of millions or billions nowadays.

        Hmmmm,

        ok, I can understand that.
        So perhaps the better way is todo it myself with a bank.
        Something I didn't want to do, because I want to talk to someone that knows busines and a personal toutch.

        Ok, will think about it and perhaps I will do it on my own

        Either way, I will make it big with the ideas I have.

        Would a small investment group work?
        10K per person for instance?

          once you find a system that works and have positive cash flow..
          Ex. expense $1000 a month, revenue $3000
          even if it's in small scale, you will now have the power to negotiate, plus it's better to go to a bank for a small biz loan, since most Angels and VC have quite a high expectation of return investment, it ain't free money

          so with the above example, now you can project if an investor inject 10k into the expense, you will get approx. 30k in return from it.

        Sorry, that statement doesn't hold water.

        There are Angel investors that will work at the level the OP is looking for. You just have to know where to find them. And don't ask me, my guys don't want me pimping for them.

    Hmmm,

    cash isn't the problem, time is!
    I just made $1,300 in 12 hours with my software.
    I know how to replicate it many times with my new offers, so how to do it isn't a problem

    Time is with development, creating backend sales, affiliates etc.
    I can not focus enough due to time.
    Time is money!

    I can now focus just a few hours per day on this, if I can focus 8 hours per day, monet never ever will be a problem.

    There are a few reasons why I can't spend too much time now, but if I can do it with 2 hours and make $1,300 in one day..........imagine what I could do with 8 hours
    It would take me a month or 2 to make at least $1,300 per day but that would take an investment.

    What I'm doing can be replicated many times over so that money is just a start.
    My aim is much much higher than that

      i see. so all you need is an investment in marketing, SEO to get more traffic? I thought you need something technical to further your biz.
      You can always put your $1300 back in to do SEO. In a few months, you will get more traffic and if you put a bit back into doing SEO, you'll make more and more in a short time.

      Even if you do get a loan, it'll still take the same time and cost the same for you to get results from SEO, and you'll still have to pay back the loan in the end anyway.

    What about JV's?
    I have the ideas and the time and they put in the money.

    Would that work?
