May 7th, 2009 The official business plan is becoming an internet master plan. These technologies I keep discussing are automated clear path to exit profitable capital efficient category killing internet machines. I am putting a prototype together for one of them right now. Even at 14 hour work days, leaving two hours each night for a business plan and provisional patent are not enough time. I could use your help. Please contact me at categorykiller.info if you are an angel investor, venture capital malaysia capitalist, business plan writer, or patent attorney.

During this journey I have gathered a great deal of venture capital and angel investing resources. The next time I post here, I will have them conveniently placed into a table or small PDF. (I’ll have something better to share soon later.)

April 12th, 2009 An official business plan is currently being put together for the internet technology startup summarized below. Thank you for reading and check back in the future as this site will one day become a resource for anyone seeking venture capital.

Time is the most valuable commodity. The following is exactly what I am seeking venture capital for and who I am. I am an internet application architect seeking venture capital for developing internet technologies that do not already exist and none of my concepts, algorithms, and schematics for the internet innovations I have to offer resemble anything close to what is already available. As digital television becomes prevalent June 12th, 2009, so will the mobile internet revolution along with affordable broadband access nationwide, and everything I am seeking venture capital for took this into account as far back as three years ago. Furthermore, I am guaranteeing traffic and a steady increasing user base after the first three months into development for each of the internet technologies below.

Together we can help change the world using the internet.

After the following innovations have been developed and tested we will need a seasoned CEO (I need a team and advisors.) to take the results from our technological success into a successful business model. Only a small marketing budget would be needed to promote these technologies as my designs and engineering for the following also function as marketing tools themselves.

I am seeking venture capital for hardware, software, bandwidth, space, and most of all, to put together a team that will help me produce the following (and more) cost effective, highly profitable, and easily marketed internet visions a reality.

seeking venture capital for:

an internet development vision

“Internet Development, when approached cohesively as an integrated art and science, can yield cost efficient cutting edge technological solutions for every industry.”

Location: Anywhere close in proximity to a tier one datacenter. Ideal environment would be that of a dorm/campus setting, but any open area that is secure where we could construct a unified environment would be appropriate.

Team: Start with a small nucleus of specialized team members (between 8 and 12) to carry out the task of creating several unprecedented internet technologies. Each team member must commit to 10 to 12 hour workdays, 5 to 6 days per week, for a minimum of six months to one year. And during that I will commit to as close to 14 hour a day, seven days a week, as humanly possible to aid capital efficiency. After we complete and test each internet technology, appointed management and board advisors could help determine the direction of the company’s establishment and growth within a successful traditional business model.

Cost: Exact figure – TBD. An official business plan is currently being put together. Contact me.

seeking venture capital for:

mortgage loan and credit

internet technology and solution

“Without exaggeration, if this proposed technology were out on the market three and a half years ago, the financial industry would have had a technology to properly pair consumer credit with mortgage loans and other lending.”

Purpose: To aid consumers and businesses with the mortgage loan and financial industry crisis.

Market: Any U.S. resident or business that utilizes credit to start. From there, could be configured to operate in any nation that works on a system of credit and loans across the planet.

Timing: The mortgage industry has yet to introduce a technology that accomplishes what I am proposing. The reasons why such a technology has not been created yet is known but will be explained later… Bottom line, as the backbone of the internet continues to grow and broadband access becomes available to all, this internet technological model will become more than viable, it will set a standard for a failing industry.

Revenue: Multiple streams and sources. High customer return. Revenue model may even be residual. Advertising revenues from necessary achieved network traffic a bonus. Potential category killer. Can even be seeded to earn profits from its inception.

seeking venture capital for:

HD audio hardware with

internet technology and solution

“As a music enthusiast, I can honestly say that there has yet to be a device or service on the market that offers what I am proposing.”

Purpose: To provide an unparalleled high definition audio device and service to both the music industry and the public.

Market: Music enthusiasts and music professionals worldwide. A higher price tag will attract a niche of customers at first, but providing a tiered pricing structure could increase the customer base to include ANY music listener who feels disappointed with the engineering and service provided by the current leading internet music services and their available audio hardware.

Timing: Aside from the fact that the internet backbone is primed for the hardware and internet technology I am proposing, the current internet music services all have flaws. Some were not efficiently engineered properly from the start, others either don’t offer the quality I am proposing or are based on a model that is not easily scalable. Constructing this technology now would offer viability through this economic downturn, then when the economy makes a turnaround our hardware and service could possibly become dominant in this still fledging internet music industry.

Revenue: Multiple streams and sources. Definite customer return for the niche market. Profits from sales and subscriptions. Also, a complementary music industry business model could yield residual revenues for both the company and its users.

seeking venture capital for:

small to medium size business

custom ecommerce automation

“Though I am all for the establishment of a large corporation that provides our economy with jobs and stockholders with dividends, small business is a backbone for our country’s economy.

This proposed internet technology will help unify the internet as well as give small to medium size businesses a competitive edge to their corporate counterparts.”

Purpose: To provide small to medium size businesses with simple cost effective tools to survive and be viable in a new internet based economy.

Market: Small to medium businesses that utilize a computer and wish to grow and compete using the internet.

Timing: Government approval for use of whitespace for broadband internet makes the expansion of both desktop and mobile internet use inevitable. Most small businesses either don’t have a great internet presence and/or do not utilize the internet to its fullest capability. Now is the time to help this sector of our economy cost effectively create the necessary internet based infrastructure for now and their future.

Revenue: Multiple streams and sources. Could operate in part on a residual revenue model. Primary revenue from software sales, industry specific ecommerce implementations, and service consulting.

Now would be an ideal time to begin the construction of this internet technology as we would be in position to be a source, and possibly even an authority, for such a foreseen necessary internet technology.

Revenue: Marginal per industry. Seek contributions and ad revenue.

seeking venture capital for:

HD TV, video, and music

internet based productions

Market: Social media marketers, independent professionals, and businesses seeking to utilize social media to promote their talent, service, or product.

Timing: Social media is here to stay. Along with the time saved for this technology’s users, implementing this internet technology could potentially utilize a social media website’s server resources more responsibly and efficiently.

seeking venture capital – web master

Ten years ago there was not a university or college for the internet I know, and there is still not a curriculum I have seen to this day that covers every aspect of the internet as I see it. I have read almost every authoritative resource for internet languages, have close to ten years of experience programming internet solutions and designing websites and web pages, and more relevantly, clearly understand the future of the internet and how web 3.0 will be defined. I am at the point now where I can literally see internet solutions from end to end. I can read any code, understand any server or network configuration, and with ease can take any single webpage, place it within the data exchange process, and tell you how it may be affecting a website’s ranking and/or performance. If I were to put my time into it, I can literally trace any email, any site visit, any chat, or any IP phone call to its source. I can literally determine the exact path of carriers throughout the whole world of the internet and/or tell you which wireless device broadcasted a signal and how. When I look at images of the earth, I literally see the web overlay that wraps it, and do so without any type of reference. I understand every internet language, every internet technology, and every computer/smartphone well enough to detail the limitless possibilities of the internet and the direction of the internet’s future. In a nutshell, a user clicks through program or browser, computer converts request through OSI model, data transfer occurs across the tier one carriers of the internet, data is received at a datacenter, routed to the appropriate server out of a cluster, room, rack, or other configuration, back up the OSI model, query is processed by server, then a data response is sent back through the same process. This entire process encompasses all the configurations of data types that are exchanged through this data transfer. The best sites manage to efficiently pass this data back and forth while considering how the end user will engage the information/media and utilize it. Though the model of Microsoft will always be viable in powering platform dependent applications and technologies, this internet logic is what yields power to Google. In Google I trust, I have yet to be disappointed with my results utilizing their technologies, and such utilization for me has barely begun. Their innovations take the general knowledge and applications of the internet and make them easily accessible to the public. This allows for me to do what I do best, generate industry specific innovations that utilize the internet in ways never before seen. I KNOW THE FOLLOWING WELL ENOUGH TO DESIGN COMPLETE COMPLEX SCHEMATICS AND ALGORITHMS FOR IMPLEMENTING EVERY SINGLE INTERNET INNOVATION I HAVE TO OFFER: 3DS Max Limitations and Requirements, 700mhz-2500mhz, A+, ActionScript, Adobe Applications, AJAX, AMFPHP, Android, Apache, Apple, ASP, ASP.NET, BSD, C/C++, CFML, ColdFusion, Color, Content Generation and Development, CSS, DMCA, Digital Video, DOM, DTD, ExtendScript, Flash, Flex, FTP, Google Applications, Google Search, GPS, Graphic Design, HD Broadcasting, HTML, HTTP, Intel, Internet Security, IIS, iPhone, IP Telephony, Java, JavaScript, Linux, LSI/LSA, Microsoft, MSSQL, MySQL, Network Administration, Networking, OC192, OO Programming, OSI Model, PCI Compliance, PDF, PERL/CGI, PHP, Powerline, PSD, RSS, Search Engine Engineering, SEM/PPC, SEO, SMS, SMTP, SOAP, SQL, SSH, SSL, SWF, TCP/IP, Tier One Networks, WiFi, Windows Security, WSDL, XHTML, XML, XML Schema, XSL/XSLT, and even more… I HAVE MORE THAN JUST SEVERAL GREAT IDEAS, I HAVE COMPLETE PLANS AND COMPLEX SCHEMATICS.

seeking venture capital – jason nadaf

I will try to make the point of who I am here once. My name is Jason Nadaf, I am 28 years old, I am an Internet Developer, and I am seeking venture capital. I can take them apart, tell you what each part does, then put them back together… with my eyes closed. I am referring to computers, and with over fifteen years of experience, I am an expert internet professional who understands every single aspect of the internet – I know internet science – as of today I can prove it. For the past three and a half years I have completely dedicated myself to researching and developing several internet innovations that have yet to be present on the market. I have spent almost ALL my time researching and developing through reverse engineering, troubleshooting and debugging, creating small #1 ranking websites and pages, studying patents and whitepapers, following the wires of the internet, learning the internet’s infrastructure, visiting tier one datacenters, reading many internet language bibles, studying organic search engine marketing and engineering, programming internet solutions and web applications, designing web schematics and algorithms, studying computer science and high level mathematics, building and repairing computers, studying internet branding and web marketing, researching wireless digital signal broadcasting, and learning all the correlations between all the variables that make up the endless possibilities of how the internet can innovate society and the world. I can develop a relevant cutting edge internet solution for any industry. Interesting enough, I have yet to see a single concept that parallels what I came up with three years ago (though there are some amazing things out there and developing), and what I have ready to create for the world now will contribute to the inevitable future of the internet.

Long ago, I published a post about personal home equity or. opportunity funds – and quite a few other web sites but not only copied the ideas, and also had immediate estimates while not attribution from your report.

Though the laugh is on them: Much of their info is now bad or partial.

Just as the variation among open public and non-public providers has blurred after some time, private fairness and venture investment capital have migrated better over time.

And you need to understand that right before you think about entering into or outside of possibly sector:

Private Equity versus. Venture Capital: The Classical View

Both “private collateral “venture and firms” money firms” raise capital from the outside buyers, called Limited Partners (LPs) – pension money, endowments, insurance firms, and-web-worthy of people.

Then, equally providers devote that cash in non-public corporations or businesses that end up individual and try to offer all those investments at increased selling prices in the future.

Both organizations impose their LPs a administration charge of 1.5 – 2.Per cent of belongings beneath management (the charge typically scales downward in in the future a long time) and “carried interest” of ~20Per cent on profits from investment opportunities, accepting which the company achieves a minimum returning, named the “hurdle rate.”

(For more details, please visit our private fairness review and the articles on exclusive equity professions and project money jobs).

But further than these high-point commonalities, almost anything else is special, no less than in “the conventional view” of such market sectors:

Company Types: PE agencies invest in companies spanning all sectors, even though VCs give attention to technology, biotech, and cleantech.

Percentage Acquired: Private fairness agencies do control committing, where by they purchase a the vast majority stake or 100% of businesses, even though VCs only purchase minority stakes.

Size: Additional grown up corporations.

Structure: VC firms use home equity (i.e., your money they have raised externally brokers) to produce their investments, when PE organizations use a mix of collateral and credit debt.

Stage: PE companies attain fully developed providers, even though VCs purchase previous-period firms that are rising speedily or have the possibility to cultivate rapidly.

Risk: VCs be expecting that almost all of their own investment portfolio companies will fall short, but when 1 company ends up being your next Facebook, they will nevertheless acquire good results. PE providers cannot manage to have these types of dangers because a single unsuccessful organization could disaster the fund.

Value Creation / Causes of Returns: They do so in different ways, regardless that both equally company forms try to generate comes back over those of the public areas: VC companies depend upon growth and companies’ valuations boosting, though PE businesses could use advancement, multiple expansion, and personal debt spend-decrease and funds development (i.e., “financial engineering”).

Operational Focus: PE organizations can be additional a part of companies’ functions as they have higher management, and it’s “on them” if something goes wrong.

People: Private collateral will probably attract previous expense bankers, whilst opportunity money turns into a additional diverse combination: Product executives, organization improvement trained professionals,advisors and bankers, and previous business owners.

The Recruiting Process: Large PE providers adhere to a quick and highly organised “on-cycle” procedure, whilst smaller PE businesses and the majority of VC companies use “off-cycle” prospecting, which starts off in the future and usually takes for a longer time.

Work and Culture: Private fairness is nearer to the function and customs of expense business banking, with extended hours, many coordination to obtain offers finished, and important techie analysis in Excel. Venture capital is a lot more qualitative and consists of more get togethers/networking, and also the many hours and operate ecosystem are usually more calm.

Compensation: Significance the control fees are increased, you will generate far more in personal collateral in any way ranges simply because account sizes are bigger. The Founders of huge PE firms like Blackstone and KKR could possibly acquire during the many hundreds of thousands USD each and every year, but that could be unheard of at any venture capital malaysia budget business.

Exit Opportunities: In case you work in PE, you normally continue in PE or move into other roles that entail concentrating on specials.

Private Equity as opposed to. Venture Capital: Why the Lines Have Blurred

First, lots of project money businesses have moved up-sector into progress fairness together with other later on-period making an investment.

By way of example, either Accel and Sequoia, known as a few of the top rated U.S.-structured VCs, have elevated progress finances of around $1 billion USD (or maybe more) and after this go after discounts truly worth tens of enormous amounts as well as $100 mil+ by these resources.

At the same time, quite a few classic exclusive value providers have relocated downwards-industry into advancement equity (e.g., KKR features a “Next Generation Technology Fund”).

And advantage executives like T. Rowe Price and Fidelity have likewise begun investing in expansion-stage companies.

So, stating that you “work in non-public equity” is way too standard an announcement to be helpful.

You have to reveal your unique crew, the strategies you engage in, and which in the firm’s cash you function in.

Finally, a lot of extended-organised thoughts about how precisely providers “should” improve capital are not any longer correct.

Such as, business loan providers now give debt financing to a lot of pre-profits startups.

It’s absolutely credible for your computer startup to raise a combination of fairness and credit card debt since it goes from pre-profits to community organization.

And even while standard leveraged buyouts still use either fairness and credit card debt, the equity proportion has increased substantially: From only 10% during the 1980s to 40-50% recently.

(Sources: This article from Piper Jaffray for older information and PitchBook’s data for submit-monetary-problems offers).

Subsequently, exclusive fairness agencies can’t be dependent 100% on “financial engineering” to get results (as articles in regards to this subject matter often assert).

In light of these changes, we are able to verify which from the generalizations earlier mentioned are still correct and which meet the requirements as “fake news”:

Company Types

VCs do have a tendency to focus on technology and lifestyle sciences, and PE organizations do have a tendency to buy a wider group of markets.

However, VCs never devote especially in all those industrial sectors.

Little rates also go into industries like media andfun as well as, and buyer products.The info is different from calendar year to year>

Also, there are numerous areas that typical PE companies avoid: Several companies get commercially produced lenders as a result of regulatory restrictions.

Percentage Acquired and Deal Size

The issues with regards to the typical percentages obtained by each individual firm variety (completely, or perhaps a majority stake, for PE and minority stakes for VC) are a fact.

Although the copycat articles or blog posts on this matter all report the determine of “$100 million to $10 billion” for non-public home equity offer capacities and “under $10 million” for project capital option capacities.

Make sure you consider these numbers by using a grain of salt.

For starters, the “under $10 million” offer dimensions is true primarily to Series A rounds (i.e., the first essential budget a company improves).

When you finally end up in SeriesC and B, and D, the deal dimensions get significantly much larger.

Also, the regular sizing depends upon the marketplace: Cleantech and living sciences providers normally raise greater rounds than computer software startups mainly because they need more budget.

Around the individual collateral side, yes, the common leveraged buyout inside a designed market place is within the numerous thousands and thousands USD, but plenty of promotions are smaller compared to that.

Look into some of the charts from PitchBook to discover – from the U.S., ~25Per cent of PE discounts every year are usually in the $25 – $100 thousand variety. In other markets, that rate is even larger for the reason that providers are smaller.

Finally, promotions for longer than $10 billion are already scarce on the several years following a 2008-2009 economic crisis a “large deal” is likely to be from the single-digit billions now.

Private Equity vs. Venture Capital: Structure, Stage, and Risk

Either company forms have begun doing advancement-point bargains, which contains transformed the original danger/possible returning profile.We coated this above>

Value Creation / Way to obtain Returns

Nothing has changed for business cash: profits still rely on progress and companies’ valuations improving with time.

But stuff has been trending doing this for many people personal collateral businesses as well.

When agencies use 10% home equity to obtain providers, “financial engineering” controls the comes back – however, if the normal home equity involvement is 40-50Percent, EBITDA development becomes more critical.

Excel And Finanical Modeling Fundamentals

Learn data processing, 3-declaration modeling, valuation, and MAndA and LBO modeling through the ground up with 10+ actual-lifestyle event scientific studies from around the globe.

Operational Focus

A good amount of VC firms become more a part of a company’s operations than is commonly thinking.

One example is Andreessen Horowitz, which includes business crews that help executives with hiring, income, and marketing.

Additionally, there are a good amount of personal value companies, especially in the center marketplace, that target functional improvements.

“Operational focus” is just not a great way to differentiate VC and PE businesses since it changes a great deal of from agency to company.

People

With the junior quantities, middle of the-scaled and enormous PE businesses do often seek the services of mainly investment decision bankers, although VCs employ a much more varied prepare.

Although the queues commence to blur whenever you go on to the Partner or Managing Director stage.

Many PE businesses have “Operating Partners” with important exec experience of a specific market, and lots of mature team members in project investment capital enter into the industry with consumer banking/talking to backgrounds (particularly in NY).

The Recruiting Process

There are “on-“off and cycle”-cycle” hiring procedures for junior-degree positions.

The real difference is usually that the hyper-quicker, “on-cycle” hiring operations implement mostly to bankers functioning at substantial financial institutions from the U.S. that want to work at medium-sized-to-significant PE firms.

In other parts and at more compact companies, “off-cycle processes” that start off afterwards and go longer are usually more common.

Most opportunity investment capital enrolling can also be “off-cycle” – even most of the largest companies get days or many months to evaluate prospects.

VC and PE companies also find distinct characteristics in applicants: PE interview are mostly regarding status degree, offer practical experience, and capacity to crank via modeling examinations.

Venture cash interviews are definitely more qualitative, and interviewers maintenance more info on what you can do to group, get discounts, create connection with creators, and understand marketplaces.

Work and Culture

It’s true that you simply do far more technical work in confidential value, you spend more time coordinating bargains, as well as the work environment is nearer to bank.

Moreover, you may spend more time checking profile providers – which lots of people viewpoint as “boring.”However, one point that’s frequently overlooked>

You’ll move on 99Percent of offers in industrial sectors.Another usually-unnoticed point>

So, the job and cultural variances can be a bit overstated since you’ll even now spend time and effort evaluating likely purchases and transforming downward most of them within both career fields.

Compensation

You will find a couple of most important parts to settlement in both career fields: starting pointsalaries and bonuses, and carried attention.

Generally, you will make considerably more all over the 3 in personal equity – although it also is determined by the fund size.

By way of example, in the U.S., first-twelve months Associates in private fairness could possibly generate somewhere between $200K and $300K complete.

But VC businesses could possibly pay 30-50Percent much less in that degree (depending on different payment studies).

To present a lot more perspective, within the infamous Ellen Pao compared to. Kleiner Perkins trial offer, we found that Junior Partners at KP received a $400K basic earnings plus a $160K added bonus, even though Senior Partners earned ~3-5x that (on account of transported fascination).

Those figures come from on the list of greatest and the majority of effective opportunity capital organizations, so they are certainly not actually representative of other folks.

You might anticipate that Junior Partner-amount pay ($400-$600K) on the middle-ranges in exclusive collateral within a quality-size account.

And beyond the middle of the-quantities, the roof should go a lot, greater: people today like Steve Schwarzman routinely make countless thousands and thousands a year.

The “average” Partner or MD in non-public value most likely generates inside the sole-digit millions, but that’s exceptionally factor and determined by carried attraction and strong measurements/structure.

Exit Opportunities

It’s factual that your exit options tend to be more professional with VC: such as, it is tricky to change from VC to PE but simpler to carry out the stop.

These change could be a bit overstated.

For the junior quantities, most people in both areas are inclined to stay in those job areas, go back to enterprise college, or enroll in a portfolio company (or any other regular corporation).

Virtually no blog post-business banking hires return back into bank, not many people sign up for hedge money, and in many cases a lesser number of people today want to do something thoroughly off the outdone pathway.

Promotion in both VC and PE is challenging simply because several pre-MBA Associates tasks are not actually Partner-observe.

Regardless if you have carried out well and you wish to stay in your company, you might need to transfer some place else or obtain an MBA to advance.
