A Business Proposal
I have a 64-page business plan (technically it’s just a marketing plan ~updated 06 June 2008). I know some people are not into it. Some people are so into it. So if you’re either (I could always tell you I don’t have any. Hehehe!), and is into extreme investing, why not hit me back before someone else does?
The big idea I have is for a start-up Internet slash Dotcom 2.0 slash software company. Rest assured this is not a Facebook or YouTube or Alibaba wannabe. The idea is alsmost original (some aspects does utilize social networking, 2.0 hello!?), and I honestly have put my heart and soul into the documents especially the financial portion.
So if you’re like me and you dream of ruling the world, just give me cash, and I’ll do the rest. 
First “VC” question… who is your technical team?

Thanks for the comment. I cannot divulge specifics for now because I would also be indirectly letting go of my anonymity. Hehe. The technical team will be headed by a former Chikka programmer (This has no bearing with my Chikka write-ups). The second guy works for a local startup as well that focuses more on on-line & rich media advertising. Apparently, due to my post entitled “For Many Are Called”, I have received a lot of communications from IT individuals who would also want to join the project. This made me put my ideas in writing.
Anyway, unlike some proponents of Internet startups, I am not from the IT industry. I am a marketing professional. Thus, even though I have ensured that the proposed technical team is both knowledgeable and competent (as indicated in the business plan), I am looking at this venture from the eyes of a marketer and a manager as what I have been trained and exposed to.
I know that the technical team brings so much weight on the success of this venture. But coming from my end, I also believe that bad marketing can do so much worse. And so, the business plan is not focused more on “how to program” but on “how to ensure” that our work is adapted by the market.
Though I said the concept is “almost original”, it does not take an Einstein, a Brin, a Page, or a Gates to make it work. According to one of the programmers, it’s relatively simple to create but it answers a need.
Finally, as a marketing- and management-oriented individual, I am more concerned on a reliable business model than a webby-award winning concept that will never churn out cash.

I would like to take a look at it and assess whether it will be a good investment. Let me know if you would like to discuss with us.
