The other day I posted about a thought I had for starting a small business to have a mobile media center in a truck or van. I’d go directly to a client’s location to help produce podcasts, convert VCR tapes to DVDs and many other things. That is pretty much a pipe dream of mine, or so I thought. You see, there are people out there who are investors and they want to invest in new ideas. And you may very well be holding on to a great new idea for a business that would be a perfect match for an investor.
So if I wanted to get off the ground with my mobile media center idea I would first have to raise some capital. I could look to RaiseCapital.com to submit my idea to investors in an effort to raise Venture Capital Funding from them. And the networking is done online so I am going to be able to reach a much wider audience than those folks in my own backyard.
If you want to start a business you need money, plain and simple. There are people who have the money, but not the time or desire or plan to put that money into an idea. Match the two people together and a very nice partnership can be formed.
RaiseCapital.com isn’t a place where you present your idea and sit back and wait for the money to arrive. Like any good idea you have to work hard, have passion and drive. And you need some tools to help you present that idea in a professional way. With the RaiseCapital.com website you are going to be able to present your idea in a professional and polished manner, network with investors, discuss your goals and their goals and hopefully enter into a mutually beneficial partnership.
When you sign up for RaiseCapital.com you can create a profile page that has more than just text, you can include photos, a video presentation and other media for the venture. And when you are done creating your profile and submit it, investors are alerted. These investors are people who are in the industry that you selected or who want to invest in that industry. Once matched up you can exchange contact information and the rest is up to you.
Do you have an idea worth funding. Then you should try to raise some capital to get that idea off the ground.
