Thanks to all, we've reached our funding goal. No, not on here - in the real world.
Zoznoz, you're obviously an intelligent person, so I feel the need to reply to your last post.
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I had no intention _ever_ of remaining anonymous to potential investors. I _did_ insist on remaining anonymous on this forum, for what I consider to be obvious reasons.
Potential investors did, as you described, receive detailed financials and the complete business plan. I'm surprised that I should be expected to detail such confidential information out in this forum. Maybe I'll post it on craigstlist next time?
The two Skype calls I had scheduled from members of this forum both flaked out. While I'm sure there are some good people on here (and I'd like to think you're one of them), the vast majority are well, not my kind of people, to put it politely.
People like leen93, as a recent example
Best,
Rosa
I'm not trying to be a keyboard warrior and I'm not 'needlessly bashing'? You and I both know that you want to raise ~$90,000 by providing us with this small summary + a Skype call and then you make a paragraph about how you're so entitled to receive this? You've just continued to ignore your extreme lack of quality information by saying "You can talk to me on Skype!". I mean you have really provided us with no transparency, again I point to the limited and asymmetrical information you've given us. Legitimate opportunity? You haven't even told us what business entity the project will be operated under??
Also, what I've never understood is why were investors happy that the people (not just you but others) behind these 'investments' never show their real identity. Honestly anyone who wants to raise more than $10,000 let alone nearly $100,000 and should be able to provide a detailed document/prospectus with multiple pages, possibly including financials and people should be able to know exactly what you look like. For REAL stocks we all can find out everything and anything about every senior manager in that company including their photos, where they live and employment history. But here, a lot of people just seem to be happy with the project owner's hiding their identity completely.
I am sorry but we are just going to see regulation, regulation and regulation, thanks to the weak demands of the investors and people trying to raise 2 years worth of an average Western wage over a week on a forum with such little information and then you are surprised when others criticise you.
