    I'd be happy to take $2-3M capital in exchange for 30-40% of a web hosting startup I'm launching :D

    Of course, if you're from Nigeria I'll have to insist on the money up front ;)

    lol, you do know this is a webmaster forum right? There actually are VC and investment forums out there where you'll probably have more luck.

    All you'll get here is a bunch of kids that ask you for money.

    As much as I'd be willing to take money, I wouldn't even if you offered to. You are completely unknown here and I really doubt your intentions. Good luck though :)

    I understand Where your coming from, However you said that here the only i will find are a bunch of kids that ask me for money. My intention is to know about these kids ideas, on the internet their have been successful websites that have been started by 18-34 Year olds.

    Throwing money at them isn't what does it. The really successful websites that dominate like Facebook started with a group of people working together on a project. They didn't seek any kind of funding until they had something tangible to show.

    Just about any experienced investor wont throw money at anything until it's been proven, which raises a really big red flag against you right now.

    Maybe I'm wrong and your intentions are sincere, but 99% of the people that come to this site with statements like yours are usually from Nigeria and ask for the other person's personal banking information (ala Nigerian scam), or have no intention of actually doing what they claim.

    Either way, welcome to DP :)

    Christian Little, You have reason to doubt me, however have i asked anybody any personal information, i have not. I posted a thread to here about your ideas and concepts, I did n ot want to throw money, I just simply said i was a venture capitalist, to let people know where i'm coming from. I Used to own A jewelry store and sold it and now i have decided to invest in ideas, Especially those on the internet. these ideas typically don't require alot of capital, however they do gain fame, alot of it, this makes for great ad revenue. Once again if you have any ideas or concepts please let me know about them.

    I sent you a pm on your topic. I think that the group called asd cash generator would be a good fit they are an up and coming program they support right now around 54k members and is growing at a rate of around 1500 to 3000 people per day.

    If you have any ideas for those looking I too would be interested in that that is in part of why I sent pm just in case.

    You're right you haven't asked for personal information, neither do most scammers until they've got the person hooked. Again, I want to make it clear I'm not calling you a scammer, but this is very fishy.

    Maybe you should start by actually saying what you are willing to invest. "Some capital" can means alot of different things. Generally speaking though, VC's typically deal with multi million dollar investments. If you are looking to do less than that, then technically you are an angel :)

    Either way, I wish you the best of luck :)

    nope I have purchased my own ads for advertising. I am not here for referrals. referrals are chump change compared to what I can make off of what I pay to advertise my site. and it doesn't cost me much to do that.

    If you were serious about buying into a company then you would know that up and coming programs do far more better especially when they have a track record and have been able to sustain a growth of around 1500-3000 people a day.

    What other site is growing by that rate? I don't know of very many that do. I don't even think DP gets that kind of a sign up rate. Its not about referrals its about buying ads....and making money off your website ads you place and making money off of your initial purchase which can range anywhere for .5 percent to over 1 percent a day.

    Best bet I have seen in awhile on here.

    That's not what he's looking for. Plus, at your age (no offense here) you shouldn't be dealing things like this.

    He's looking for multi-thousand/million dollar deals that have the potential to grow into multi million ventures.

    In which case, to the OP, I have something you might be interested in. PM me if you want some info.

    mike i would guess you would be more successful by indentifying the big players and upcoming players in the affiliate game. i.e uberaffiliate.com, bluehatseo.com , diorex.com , aojon.com , here.org.uk , and so on and so forth. Approach them and ask them if they need any funding to super scale a campaign you would be there. Be professional and have laid out profit agreements. Better yet, find out diamond webmaster forums or diamond related threads and provide your expertise promising not only to help but also your expertise on related fields.
    Hope that helps

    Mike,

    I am currently setting up a web hosting company with some unique ideas.

    I have been in the industry for four years now, and I have worked for many web hosting companies, ranging from JetNetHost to Nkommunikation.com.

    I recently setup rfsnetworks.com, and I am working on growing the client base. If you are interested, please contact me at admin@rfsnetworks.com.

    Sincerely,
    Erik Van Norstrand
