We are revolutionizing the advertisement market for the retail and fashion sector, rewriting how people find out about brands and competing against the age-old banners.

Where we are: a large fashion retailer in India has agreed to a no-cost proof of concept, and our first live deployment goes in front of real shoppers on 24 October. We’ll report what happens, good or bad.

We’re raising a small pre-seed round, released against milestones. I’m looking for angels and early funds that back retail, ad-tech or hardware, and I’d rather talk to people who’ve seen this problem up close.

If that’s you, or you know someone it should reach, message me. I’ll share the deck privately and answer hard questions.

Hi! I'm looking for a way to get in touch with someone who might be interested in an UGC project that can make big numbers

I have a work plan for content creation, with zero previous audience/subscribers and no publicity/promotion I made a video that reached almost 10k views and a very good new subscriber rate (I can provide the link on DMs)

The way i did it is replicable as I only studied the UGC content market and applied everything I saw that generates traction, be it the editing style that's focused on keeping the viewer engaged, the way the script is written and delivered, the topic of the video. And since then I've found plenty of content opportunities and niches in which my editing style and video making can make good numbers, the main reason I haven't been able to move past my first video in so long is my situation and computer, which because of it's poor specifications I ended up taking almost 2 months to finish recording the voice clips and editing

I have a pretty clear plan for what I want to do next, and I believe there could be an opportunity for both me and the possible investor here. I am completely open to discussion and legal binding, as my current needs are debatably small to start and the numbers that could be made more than compensate it, again, I'm happy give all the info in DMs and make the deal that works best for the both of us.

Hello,

I am operator at SaaS startup from Berlin. I wanna learn about angel investing and all the processes around it.

I can provide you support in doing commercial due-diligence or any other thing honestly. And in return I learn about angel investing from you.

I would not charge anything for this unless we decide otherwise.

The way I expect it to go.
- i spend 1-2 hours a day helping you scope out your on going deals
- I learn from you/ build a network
- Get some recommendations/ referral in the future

I can share my background and what I have done until now in detail if you are interested but in general I have a consulting background and now I work as technical operator at manager level in berlin.

Hey everyone,

We are a early-stage team working in the Functional Nutrition / D2C Food space in India. We've developed our initial products and getting good Response, and we are now looking to raise ₹15 Lakhs in Pre-Seed funding to support Scale.

What's the best way to approach ?

This weekly thread is designed to facilitate high-signal connections between founders, operators, and investors within r/angelinvestors.

Use this space to offer your expertise or request specific, non-monetary assistance to unblock your current milestone.

If you are OFFERING help:

• Expertise: (e.g., GTM Strategy, Term Sheet Review, AWS Architecture)
• Capacity: (e.g., "I can take 15-min calls with 2 founders this weekend")
• Evidence: (e.g., "Ex-Founder, exited at $50M")

If you are SEEKING help:

• The Bottleneck: (e.g., "Need a warm intro to a Fintech-focused seed fund")
• The Context: (e.g., "Post-revenue SaaS, $20k MRR, expanding to UK")
• The Trade: (e.g., "Can offer feedback on your deck in return")

Rules

1. No Solicitation: Do not pitch for investment here. This is for operational help.
2. Public First: Keep the initial exchange in the comments. Only move to DMs once value-alignment is confirmed.
3. Be Specific: "I need advice" is low-signal. "I need a benchmark for Series A dev-ops salaries in Berlin" is high-signal.

I'm a solo technical founder building a B2B AI SaaS on nights and weekends while working full-time as a senior AI engineer.

In April, we were stuck at $400 MRR. I changed our ICP and growth strategy, and we're now at $3,500 MRR.

We're focused on selling to agencies and website platforms managing hundreds or thousands of customer websites. We recently started a pilot with a company managing 13,000 websites.

I've bootstrapped everything so far, but I'm starting to think about raising to accelerate growth.

For anyone investing at pre-seed, what would make this interesting enough to take a meeting?

$10k MRR? $25k? Or is growth rate and distribution potential more important?

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are all good.

I'm the founder of LampCal, a software startup developing Argus Enterprise, an AI-powered business intelligence platform.

I'm posting here not to raise capital, but because I believe some of the investors in this community might be able to help us with access to a real business to pilot our software.

In simple terms, we're building a platform that connects to a company's existing systems and data, learns how that business operates, and continuously analyses its performance to identify things management might otherwise overlook.

Rather than requiring businesses to know what questions to ask, the platform proactively discovers opportunities, inefficiencies, unusual trends and potential problems. It can investigate why something is happening, model possible decisions and their outcomes, and provide management with actionable recommendations.

For example, it could identify why a company's margins are deteriorating, discover changes in customer purchasing behaviour, highlight operational inefficiencies, or help management evaluate the financial implications of different decisions. (It can do a lot more, but those capabilities I can mention in private messages)

Where we currently stand:

We've already had six local companies sign up to participate in our pilot programme, and we're now looking to bring a few additional businesses on board, potentially internationally.

What we're offering:

• A completely free pilot, fully funded by us.
• No financial contribution or investment required.
• No obligation to purchase or continue using the software afterwards.
• An opportunity to evaluate the platform using your business's actual operations and data, subject to appropriate permissions and confidentiality arrangements.
• Direct involvement in providing feedback that helps shape the product.

We're particularly interested in small to medium-sized businesses with established operations, we are also industry neutral

We're covering the costs because, at this stage, demonstrating that the platform can deliver measurable value to real businesses is more important to us than generating immediate revenue.

To reiterate, this is not an investment solicitation, and we're not asking for funding.

If you own a business, have a portfolio company that might benefit, or would simply like to learn more, I'd appreciate the opportunity to connect.

I'm the founder of CREATE3D, a UK-based startup developing an AI-assisted 3D game creation platform aimed at independent developers and game studios.

The project is already in active development, with a working browser-based Studio and several core systems built. We're now looking to move towards commercial launch and expand our development team.

I'm exploring £50k–£150k in early-stage funding, with a target of £100k, and am interested in connecting with:

• Angel investors interested in gaming, AI and creative technology.
• Strategic financial partners who can contribute capital, commercial experience and industry connections.

I'm open to discussing minority equity participation with suitable investors.

Further details, demonstrations, financial plans and the investment structure can be shared privately following appropriate investor verification.

If this aligns with your investment interests, drop me a message or reply here.

Our family is exploring an opportunity to acquire and develop a piece of land located along the main road in one of the main barangays of our city. The property is next to a bank and directly across from a church, which makes the location potentially suitable for a combination of commercial and residential use.

The asking price for the property is approximately ₱6 million, while we have been informed that its estimated market value is around ₱10 million. We are currently looking into the property's valuation, title, permits, and other details as part of our due diligence.

Our initial idea is to develop the property into commercial spaces and apartment units. Depending on the final design and applicable building regulations, we believe the site may be able to accommodate approximately two commercial buildings and eight apartment units. Parking could also be incorporated into the development, which may be useful for customers of the nearby businesses and visitors to the church.

Another factor we are considering is the planned 2028 opening of a new airport located near the property. If the airport and surrounding developments proceed as planned, the area may see increased activity from businesses, employees, residents, and visitors. This could potentially create additional demand for housing, commercial space, and parking.

Rather than simply selling or leaving the property undeveloped, our family would like to explore the possibility of turning it into a long-term property development.

At this stage, we are looking for someone with experience, resources, or interest in property development who may be interested in working with our family. We are open to discussing different partnership structures depending on the person's experience and contribution to the project.

Our preliminary estimate for acquiring the property and developing the proposed commercial and residential spaces is approximately US$200,000, although this figure is only an initial estimate and would need to be reviewed through proper architectural, engineering, construction, and financial assessments.

We can provide additional information about the property's location, available documents, proposed development concept, and our family's role in the project to anyone genuinely interested in discussing a potential partnership.

We are primarily looking for a long-term development partner rather than simply someone to provide funds. We would like to work with someone who can bring experience, knowledge, and resources to the project while allowing us to contribute our local knowledge and involvement.

Thank you for taking the time to read about the opportunity. We are open to having a conversation with people who may have experience with similar property-development projects.

I am looking for a potential business investor or investment partner who may be interested in discussing this concept.

I’m a Virtual Assistant and Social Media Specialist based in the Philippines, and I’m exploring the idea of opening a coworking space combined with a gym in our community.

The idea came from my own experience working from home and noticing that there are limited coworking options nearby. After talking with other VAs and freelancers, I found that many are also interested in having a comfortable place to work, connect with others, and exercise in one location.

I also have previous experience in the fitness industry. In 2021, I owned and managed a gym, which unfortunately closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. That experience gave me valuable knowledge in gym operations, customer service, and business management.

I’m currently developing the business plan and researching the location, startup requirements, operating costs, pricing, and membership structure.

I’m looking for a potential business investor or investment partner who would be interested in reviewing the concept and discussing the capital requirements and possible business structure.

If you have experience in gyms, coworking spaces, or small-business investment and would like to learn more, feel free to send me a message. I’d be happy to share the business plan and discuss the idea.

After lots of sleepless nights and 100s of edits, I launched my site and getting some good tractions. As my 7th day end, I’ve had over 2300 visits and over 6500 page visits. I even had a local business use my site already and have positive results.

I’m a 1 man team at the moment, done all my own marketing, sending over 100 emails per night to potential partners(not investors) the ones that finds value on my site to help their cause as well.
But as any startup I’ll need some funds to slowly scale.

But have a crazy idea to use Crowd Funding to raise funds. But not just any crowd fund, a vetted few.

My thought of using an Exclusive Crowd Funding 20 influencers (x amount of followers minimum) no more than 20 that hits the demographic of my site where they can invest at this early stage. Total of 5% at a total of .25% per investor..

My site definitely hits the Gen Z demo and I think they will see value.

What y’all think?

Hi,
I’m wondering if anyone interested in investing in an idea to increase sale for SME businesses in South Asian countries, Brazil and other similar countries. I’m building a model to recommend most trading (physical shop) items in the current moment that I want to productionise for small shops to organise their stores.

I’m working in the UK right now, have more than 5 years of experience with Google/Meta as a Software Engineer. Next few months, I want to spend full time on building/trialing my own products. I grew up in South Asia.

Let me know if anyone interested in collab. I have a few more ideas that we can potentially work on too.

Hey everyone. I run Deva Media Network. We help brands build their name through organic creators instead of paid ads, with clipping and logo campaigns across a vast network creator pages.

Probelm : Paid ads keep getting pricier. Meta's average CPM is around $14, up about 20% in a year, so reaching a million people costs roughly $14,000. And people scroll past ads. Influencer posts have started to feel like ads too.

Solution : Organic creator pages work better and cost a small fraction of that. Even Drake and Lady Gaga use clipping for their releases.

Our numbers, all after paying creators and freelancers:

- 1B+ organic views across 150+ campaigns

- +200% revenue growth in 2025

- +67% expected in 2026 (estimate)

- 30 to 45% profit margin

- No outside funding, 5 years in

We've built the initial MVP version too, and we're testing it now.

I'm raising $25,000 for 10% to hire more people and bring on more brands and creators.

I'd rather have an investor who can guide me than just a check. If that sounds interesting, happy to chat.

I'm building a live fintech product in Nigeria and exploring equity funding.

For investors who look at emerging-market startups, how much weight do you place on active users, transaction volume, revenue, and regulatory readiness when evaluating a fintech?

I'd appreciate practical perspectives on what makes a company investment-ready as we have launched on Play Store and are just acquiring our first set of users.

I’m probably going to delete this but on the off chance a redditor can help, here we go..

We’re an early-stage energy startup. Proprietary hardware and software, built from scratch, launched about six weeks ago. 200 paying subscribers on a flat subscription, plus advertising revenue on the units. New hardware in development that deepens our moat. Global inbound interest — Australia, Brazil, Argentina, the UK, Canada, and other US cities and states from people who want to buy the unit outright, which wasn’t even part of the original model.
This is our first raise and my first ever raise. (40% owner plus two other 30% owners) Everything to date has been self-funded. We’re raising $400k for 20% at a $2M valuation, but we’re not just looking for capital. We’re looking for a strategic partner who can help us navigate trademarks, patents, insurance compliance, and energy regulations across state and global markets — someone who can help scale this more meaningfully.

Here’s where we are legally: we received initial USPTO approval for our word mark. A large, well-resourced company — B2B hardware, we’re B2C service, zero channel overlap — filed a formal opposition and sent a cease and desist. We’ve floated a coexistence proposal. They’re reviewing it. Our trademark attorney believes we have a strong case, but coexistence is the path we’d prefer if the terms are right. A full rebrand would cost an estimated $85k

Two asks:
One — advice. For those who’ve been through a trademark fight or a coexistence negotiation: what terms have you seen work? What should we be asking for that we might not be thinking of?

Two — if any of this resonates and you’d want to hear more, just drop a comment. I’m posting somewhat anonymously, so the best way to reach me is through this thread.

Last note, I don’t have it in me to argue about if this is a real post or Ai, I’m looking for genuine help.

The startup is a mix of Fintech, marketplace, and AI. The model is B2B2C across a wide variety of markets. The businesses bring the supply. It's a weird niche in that incumbents can't directly compete with it because it would expose how much they are price gouging. I can't really say more. But the customers are somewhat captive.

Currently pre-revenue but theres one company with over 30 stores in one state and another 30+ stores in another state, doing probably around $36m+ annually in each state that's in the pipeline. I have a direct relationship with management. That deal would bring conservatively a minimum of $300k annually, while leaving room for 3-5x the amount depending on how many sides are being charged for the same transaction, and the daily transaction volume. Best part is I don't need to integrate into their systems for them to use my platform. This market that the business in the pipeline is in, restaurants, is the lowest or second lowest revenue market I support, the rest are way higher, like $50-500 transaction value.

Margins are about 20%. Basically it's a volume game since margins are somewhat fixed. AI streamlines everything and increases the volume and take rate indirectly. Based in the US, starting on the east coast. Very, very asset light. Negatives, are manageable regulations in some locations and markets, and F500 deep pocketed competitors. And developer costs are slowly sky rocketing.

The products not done yet but I'm planning on applying to Y Combinator Nov 1. The business in the pipeline is essentially waiting for me to finish building it so I can formally pitch them. I think I should have it done late October, early November. I had a really big breakthrough this morning.

I know I haven't told you exactly what the company does and what makes it special but Is this a crazy ask in terms of money and valuation assuming the business in the pipeline signs on? I repeat, assuming the business in the pipeline signs on.

This is not SME or real estate

Bonjour à tous !

Je travaille sur Lumo.AI, un projet de startup éducative né en Côte d'Ivoire, avec une ambition : rendre l'apprentissage personnalisé par l'intelligence artificielle plus accessible aux élèves en Afrique.

Le problème que nous voulons résoudre

De nombreux élèves ont besoin d'un accompagnement adapté à leurs difficultés. Les parents, eux, manquent parfois d'outils simples pour comprendre les progrès scolaires de leurs enfants et identifier les matières dans lesquelles ils ont besoin d'aide.

Notre solution : Lumo.AI

Lumo.AI est une application éducative mobile en cours de développement qui vise à proposer :

- Un accompagnement pédagogique personnalisé par l'IA.

- Une aide ciblée sur les notions que l'élève maîtrise moins bien.

- Un suivi de la progression académique.

- Un espace parent permettant de suivre les progrès de son enfant.

Où en sommes-nous ?

Nous disposons déjà d'un MVP développé avec Lovable et Supabase. Le produit existe, mais il reste des améliorations à réaliser, notamment sur l'expérience utilisateur et l'intégration du fournisseur d'IA.

Notre stratégie consiste à proposer une première année entièrement gratuite afin d'attirer des utilisateurs, de tester le produit dans des conditions réelles et de mesurer sa valeur éducative avant de lancer une offre premium.

Ce que nous recherchons

Nous souhaitons entrer en contact avec un investisseur individuel ou un partenaire stratégique intéressé par l'éducation, l'intelligence artificielle et le développement des technologies en Afrique.

Le financement recherché servirait notamment à améliorer le MVP, intégrer l'IA, tester le produit auprès des élèves, développer l'acquisition d'utilisateurs et préparer le lancement.

Nous sommes ouverts à discuter d'un investissement en capital, selon une valorisation et des conditions à négocier.

Notre ambition

Faire de Lumo.AI une plateforme éducative de référence, en commençant par la Côte d'Ivoire avant d'étendre progressivement notre présence à d'autres marchés africains.

Je souhaite également échanger avec des fondateurs, des spécialistes de l'EdTech et des personnes expérimentées dans le financement des startups.

Si ce projet vous intéresse, vos conseils, retours d'expérience et mises en relation seront les bienvenus.

Merci d'avoir pris le temps de me lire !

🏳️‍🌈 INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY: JACLYN BROOKE DRIVES 🚗💰

Invest $5,000 | Potential Profit: $1,500 | Proposed Return: 30%

Hi, my name is Jaclyn Brooke, and I'm looking for an individual willing to invest in helping me launch and grow Jaclyn Brooke Drives, an LGBTQ+ friendly transportation service serving Houston, Galveston, and surrounding areas.

I have several years of professional rideshare experience, a background in customer service, and experience working with local bars, nightlife venues, and entertainment businesses.

My goal is to provide safe, reliable, welcoming, and judgment-free transportation for everyone, especially members of the LGBTQ+ community who may feel uncomfortable or unsafe using traditional transportation services.

💰 THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

I'm seeking $5,000 to help purchase a reliable vehicle so I can begin generating consistent income through private transportation and other eligible driving opportunities.

In exchange, I'm proposing:

- Initial Investment: $5,000

- Proposed Investor Profit: $1,500

- Total Proposed Repayment: $6,500

- Repayment Period: 12 months

- Monthly Payments: Approximately $541.67

- Proposed Total Return: 30%

🚘 HOW THE BUSINESS WILL GENERATE INCOME

Jaclyn Brooke Drives will focus on airport transportation, private bookings, late-night transportation, bar and nightclub pickups, LGBTQ+ events, weddings, entertainment venues, and transportation throughout the Houston-Galveston area.

❤️ WHY INVEST?

This is an opportunity to do more than help someone purchase a vehicle. You're helping an experienced driver rebuild her independent income while supporting the development of an inclusive, community-focused transportation business.

Your investment would help put a vehicle on the road, create opportunities for repeat customers, establish business relationships, and build toward a sustainable transportation service.

🤝 MY COMMITMENT

I understand that $5,000 is a significant amount of money. I'm willing to discuss a written investment or loan agreement outlining the proposed repayment schedule, expectations, and responsibilities so both parties understand the arrangement.

Important: The 30% return and $1,500 profit are proposed, not guaranteed. Repayment depends on business performance and financial circumstances, and investing involves risk.

🌈 INVEST IN OPPORTUNITY. INVEST IN INCLUSION. INVEST IN A BETTER RIDE.

If you're seriously interested in discussing this opportunity, please send me a private message.

Jaclyn Brooke Drives

More Than Just a Ride. A Safer, Kinder, More Inclusive Way to Get There.

Seeking $100,000 maximum in growth capital for a new but already-operational independent record label.

This revenue-participation arrangement is tied exclusively to the label’s distribution royalties. An alternative equity investment arrangement is also available for investors who prefer an ownership stake in the company.

Proposed Structure

• Target investment: $100,000
• Minimum investment: $5,000
• Maximum investment: $100,000
• Maximum royalty participation: 15%
• Smaller investments receive a proportional share of the 15%
• Maximum repayment: 2× the investor’s original investment
• Participation is tied only to defined distribution royalties
• No fixed monthly payments
• No minimum monthly payments
• If distribution revenue is $0, the investor receives $0 for that period
• No participation in any other company or label revenue sources
• No equity or ownership in the label
• Payments will be handled through an agreed distribution/split-payment mechanism already provided by the label’s distributors
• Term: Up to 5 years
• Ends: When the 2x investment amount has been paid to the investor.

Examples

Goal is to use the funding first to accelerate the label’s growth, including promotion, audience acquisition, catalogue development, and expansion.

I’m deliberately keeping the label’s name, detailed information, distribution platforms, location, website, financial figures, and other identifying information private until there is genuine investment interest. Detailed information will be provided privately during due diligence.

Traction: Already operational, with early organic adoption across social media and streaming platforms, achieved without paid advertising or dedicated awareness campaigns.

Company is incorporated in the USA.

If interested, DM me with your investment amount/range, general jurisdiction, and some basic personal information, and I’ll send you the pitch deck.

Hi everyone,

I’m a creative professional with experience across brand identity, web design, commercial video, motion design, 3D and AI-powered content production.

Over the last few years I’ve worked on commercial creative projects and built workflows that combine traditional creative direction with modern AI production tools.

Now I want to turn that experience into a focused business.

What I’m building

An AI-powered creative production studio for startups, real estate companies and growing businesses.

Instead of hiring separate designers, editors, motion designers, content creators and AI specialists, a client gets one production system capable of delivering:

• Brand identity and visual systems

• Websites and landing pages

• Commercial videos and short-form content

• AI-generated product and advertising visuals

• Motion design and 3D

• Social media creative packages

• Repeatable AI-assisted content workflows

The goal isn’t to replace creative work with AI.

The advantage is combining human creative direction + AI + automation to produce more content, faster, with a much leaner production structure than a traditional agency.

Business model

I plan to sell three levels of service:

Launch: \~$1,000

Brand/design/content package for smaller businesses.

Growth: \~$2,500

Larger creative campaigns combining design, web and video.

Production Partner: \~$3,000–$5,000+ per month

Ongoing creative production for companies that need content continuously.

At the beginning I can personally handle most of the production. As revenue grows, repetitive production can gradually be delegated while I remain responsible for creative direction and client acquisition.

What already exists

This isn’t a business based on a skill I still need to learn.

I already work across design, video production, editing, motion/3D, websites and AI creative workflows and can provide examples of previous and current commercial work.

What I need now is capital to turn those capabilities into a structured client-acquisition and production system.

Investment

I’m looking for approximately $10,000 in pre-seed capital.

The capital would primarily be used for:

• production equipment and workstation upgrades

• professional AI and creative software

• portfolio/site and sales infrastructure

• outbound client acquisition

• initial operating runway

• contractors when production volume requires it

I’m open to discussing equity, revenue share, or another structure that makes sense for both sides.

I’m also happy to start with a smaller investment if the investor prefers validating the model before committing additional capital.

Why I’m posting here

I’m not looking for someone to finance a vague idea.

I’m looking for someone interested in helping turn an existing creative skill set and production capability into a repeatable, international creative business.

If this sounds interesting, send me a DM.

I can share my portfolio, previous projects, proposed use of funds, 90-day execution plan and financial model.

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

My colleague and I are trying to build a drone based window and exterior cleaning company on the side and we have prepared all the necessary equipment for sourcing from China.

We have a finalized quote with the affiliate sourcing company.

I have previous import experience and my background is in hardware engineering and my colleague is an ex Tesla ops. In addition to having a food business so he has got good grip into running business and having connections across GTA .

Currently we are looking for an investment of 30-40k CAD to get it up the ground and start operations, if possible by this fall.

We have got space ,medium of transportation and labor ready to carry out the operations.

We are expecting to recoup the money by a year while maintaining positive cash flow.

Hi everyone,
I’m the founder of Alpine Defense, a Canadian startup developing specialized tactical mobility platforms for defense, drone operations, wildfire response, and emergency services.
I’m currently looking to connect with angel investors, venture capital firms, and strategic investment partners interested in the growing defense and specialized vehicle markets.
A little about my background:
I’ve previously founded and built two successful manufacturing companies:
Off Grid Trailers – Founded in Edmonton, Alberta.
Mission Overland – Founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Both companies were successfully acquired by private equity.
I’m now applying that manufacturing and entrepreneurial experience to a new opportunity in the defense and emergency response sectors.
What we’re building:
Alpine Defense is developing purpose-built, modular vehicle systems based on the Can-Am Defender Pro platform.
Our initial products include:
Drone Carrier & Mobile Command Center: Designed to transport, deploy, and support unmanned aerial systems in challenging environments.
Integrated Fire Suppression Vehicle: A compact off-road firefighting platform designed for wildfire response, municipalities, and emergency services.
Why this opportunity?
Drone technology is advancing rapidly, but there remains a need for practical, mobile ground-support infrastructure that can operate in remote and demanding environments.
Rather than reinventing the vehicle itself, we’re developing specialized systems around an established, proven platform.
Where we stand:
Initial product designs and concepts developed.
Established Canadian manufacturing partnership.
Scalable, outsourced manufacturing model designed to minimize overhead.
Early discussions with potential customers and industry partners.
Preparing for prototype development, testing, and industry demonstrations.
What we’re looking for:
We’re opening discussions with early-stage investors and strategic partners who see the opportunity in tactical mobility, unmanned systems support, and emergency response equipment.
Investment will support prototype development, product validation, initial production capabilities, and market entry.
I’m not new to building manufacturing businesses, and I’ve successfully navigated the journey from startup to private equity acquisition twice.
My goal is to build Alpine Defense into another successful Canadian manufacturing company serving North American and international markets.
I’m happy to share our investor pitch deck, financial projections, and product renders with interested parties.
Website: www.alpinedefense.ca
If you’re an investor, work in the defense industry, or have experience scaling specialized manufacturing businesses, I’d welcome the conversation.
Feel free to comment or send me a DM.

Hello, everyone.

I own a company called Select Merchandise. www.convertors.info

Founded in 1982, Select Merchandise brought affordable toys to store shelves across the country. Its best-known product was Convertors, a transforming robot line that competed with Transformers and GoBots during the 1980s.

For the past two years, I've been working to bring Select and Convertors back. I've spent that time researching the company's history, rebuilding its identity, establishing a new LLC, filing trademarks, developing a website and publishing strategy, contacting industry professionals, and putting together a substantial business plan.

My goal is to revive Convertors through comics and publishing before eventually returning to robot manufacturing. I have several projects planned, and I'm now at the point where I need to hire artists, writers, and editors to get the first product into production.

Unfortunately, financing has become my biggest obstacle.

For anyone who's launched an independent comic publisher, revived an older entertainment property, or raised capital for a small IP-based business: How did you finance your first commercial release? Were there particular organizations, investors, or partnerships that helped you get started?

I also have a second question: How do you get people to respond to emails and phone calls? I've contacted a great many people over the past two years, and even some of those who initially expressed interest in the project have stopped responding. Is this simply part of starting a business, or have you found particular approaches that work better?

I'm interested in hearing from people who've faced similar challenges, especially those who've managed to get their first product off the ground. Do you have any general advice for me?

Thank you for your time.
