"This is the best money I've spent so far trying to attract qualified investors. I've attended several VC and Angel Investor events over the past year to attract investors and this site has attracted the most relevant and qualified investors so far. Thanks! ~ James Fitzgerald - ChainStar USA"

"Our small, early-stage company recently signed up for your service. We got numerous inquiries, several of which we are pursuing, and hopefully will find an investor partner as a result. It is almost impossible for young companies to attract investment capital in the current financial climate, but you managed to bring a number of qualified and interested parties to the table. I would recommend your service to any early-stage company seeking capital. Bruce Jones, CFO "

Invested in startups going back to 1994, yahoo, mysimon, bluepumpkin, and currently invest in a few stealth startups. Back-ground consists of making sure that the entrepreneur is prepared to finish the job! I will test the courage of the entrepreneur a lot prior to investing in him or her!

We provide needed capital for project principals with solid business plans and a strong team. It is our desire to work with projects that will positively impact the local economy. Projects and business ventures are given a thorough and realistic evaluation to ascertain their viability for funding. We are interested in retaining an equity position in the project/business ventures we would finance. Our focus is on commercial and residential real estate development projects (including resorts and mixed use developments), restaurants, historic building renovations (castles and such like), private aviation ventures and global village projects. We would also invest in existing businesses that are in distress and in need of capital to grow, including manufacturing, retail and the service industry sectors. Feel free to submit these types of projects for possible funding considerations.
