Mega CD, record and video exchange seeks start-up capital

From a rare copy of the technicolor Japanese monster movie Rodan on VHS to newer CD and movie releases at a fraction of retail cost, music and movie fans will be able to find it all at our mega CD, record and video exchange. We’re looking for an investor to help us make the initial purchase of a large building in a bustling downtown in northeastern Pennsylvania. Our operations will involve a retail space where CD, record and movie buyers will come to purchase, sell and trade. We’re looking for a deal where the investor’s income would come from rent or a combination of rent and earnings and then other space in the building could be used for additional retail locations. If you’re looking for a real estate investment opportunity and would like to talk, e-mail me.

Help build this Tiki/African art and 50’s vintage clothing store online

We’re seeking investment partners to launch what we hope will be the largest, most comprehensive retail site of its kind on the Net. Our belief is that this unique mix of merchandise, including Polynesian pop culture from wholesalers like Tiki Farm (see photo), African masks and other art from suppliers like African Accents and 50’s vintage wear from sources like the Dust Factory, will create a strong online customer base. Depending on the success of our online store, we hope to open a brick and mortar establishment in a small tourist community in northeastern Pennsylvania like this one. Other expansion of our branding might eventually include our own clothing line utilizing the three themes and a recording label featuring vintage original music. Investors e-mail here with interest.

Help us set up our own venture capital fund

We’re planning to raise funding for one or more of the ideas listed on our site. Investors interested in getting involved should contact me here. Our objective is to evaluate and select a list of possible candidates, perhaps including interrelated businesses to start. The list would then help determine the size of our venture fund. We welcome input from potential investors on the businesses to be included. Make your own list if you like and include it in your e-mail. The venture fund would be set to liquidate in seven years at which time we would either purchase the business ourselves out of existing profits replenishing the fund or sell it to another firm. For more on venture capital funds and how they work, check this out.

Invest in our zine and alternative media publishing service

Nowadays everyone wants to create their own zine. We want to be their publisher. For a small monetary investment you can help us set up a resource center for fledgling zine publishers including high quality color printers, computers for layout and a few other graphic tools. Our center would handle either extremely small runs or help create the layout for a larger commercial offset printer. Our center would also include a library of free clip art and fonts and the opportunity to network with other zinesters. We would also provide technical assistance and design help for beginning do-it-yourselfers. To add revenue and create an even greater hub for the zine publishing community, we would also use the remainder of the space to create a premier alternative zine and book store along the order of Baltimore’s Atomic Books. If interested in lending a helping hand or financial assistance for this project, contact me here.

Help us build Pennsylvania’s premier grass fed beef farm

Invest in a revolution that may transform the American food industry and that of the world. We hope to establish one of Pennsylvania’s premier grass fed cattle ranches supplying local retailers and eventually larger chains like Whole Foods. According to many sources, grass fed beef is an important source of Omega 3 fatty acids and may lower the risk in the United States of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the dreaded Mad Cow Disease. Read some of the other health benefits of grass fed beef available on the Net here or look at a book on the subject (cover shown above). We hope to establish the ranch in southeastern or south central Pennsylvania once we accumulate sifficient backing. Establishment of a local steak house restaurant and partnerships with other local eateries would be an important first step to establishing a strong demand for our product. If intertested, contact us here.

Invest in our new all-acoustic recording label

In an age of electronic music, help us launch the ultimate alternative. Our new recording label will feature CD’s and tapes of exclusively acoustic music. We will seek out recordings of both great traditional music and innovative new sounds all combined by the unified theme of a distinctly acoustic approach. Music will span a wide variety of styles including, but not limited to, bluegrass, blues, traditional and progressive acoustic jazz, protest songs, singer/songwriters, cowboy music and experimental music. Our recording label will be distributed through independent music retailers across the nation and eventually overseas like those making up the Coalition of Independent Music Stores. The popularity of folk, bluegrass and blues festivals and the existance of publications like Dirty Linen (see above) demonstrate the strong audience for this music. The recording label would also be strongly promoted over the Internet and eventually via a print catalogue providing even more revenue. Venture capitalists needed. E-mail me here.

Help set up the first Kaiju international film festival

Be the proud corporate sponsor of what may be the first annual International Kaiju Film Festival. Named for the popular Japanese term for giant monster movies, the festival would, of course, feature films starring Godzilla and other famous creature stars from the Toho Co. Ltd. stable. But we would also feature films starring Gamera and other monsters created with “suitmation”, the Japanese technique of using suited actors to portray giant beasts. In addition to full length motion pictures by Toho and its chief rival Daiei Motion Picture Company, the festival plans big screen exhibitions of cult classic giant monster TV shows like Ultraman. The annual event would also feature speakers, panel discussions, memorabilia and collectibles and would be promoted internationally through fan organizations and over the Internet through a regularly updated blog. Successful screenings of Godzilla: Final Wars, the last in the Godzilla series, at the 2005 New York Asian Film Festival and 2005 Seattle International Film Festival show the crowd drawing potential of such an event. If this sounds like a unique sponsorship or tax deductible project for your organization or you would like to get involved, please contact us.

Invest in our all natural carbonated beverage business

Our new carbonated beverage line would combine the idea of natural ingredients epitimized by R.W. Knudsen’s fruit spritizers (seen above) with the alternative attitude and imaginative packaging of a Jones Soda Company. The result would be a line of beverages equally at home on the shelf of the local natural foods retailer or the local supermarket. We need initial investment to set up a brewing and bottling facility, but could probably do so by converting a preexisting industrial building. Initial flavors might include raspberry, grape, Jamaican lemonade, orange, lemon lime and perhaps a birch beer and cola flavor. We’d like to build from a small and very hands on beginning with the hopes of selling to a select network of local retailers in northeastern Pennsylvania at first. If you have any suggestions or would like to help e-mail here.
