Hello,

The biggest angel investor in startups in the world is "visa & mastercard".  Airbnb, recently valued at $10B, was built on the founder's credit cards.  (Literally, see this article:  http://www.businessinsider.com/how-a-box-of-cereal-and-being-like-a-cockroach-helped-airbnb-become-a-billion-dollar-business-2013-3

"When Airbnb's founders were just getting started, they had no way to fund their short-term apartment rental business. They maxed out a binder full of credit cards and racked up tens of thousands of dollars in charges.")


I am in a similar position, minus the binder full of credit cards.  (Actually, I do not have much debt.)

What kind of return do Visa and Mastercard have on their 'angel investments'?  (Unbeknownst to themselves.)

Would you appreciate similar returns?

If so, we may be a match.

I am looking to be connected with an angel who is interested in this kind of arrangement.   I am also an American, educated and trained founder, and know very well the limits on securities and their sale-  this is why I draw the analogy with Visa and Mastercard.

Please let me know if you would be interested in such an arrangement, and we can connect more seriously and discuss terms.  I have reviewed other posts in this forum and find that successful transactions do not make mention of the real-world usage of funds, i.e. the opportunities for which they are being raised, so I have not included this here.

Thank you!

Yeah, thanks, but no.

You're welcome!  Thank you as well.
