Investors

If you are looking for investments which can offer extraordinary returns, then investing in Internet business’s should have a place in your portfolio. Just as any other start-up, or young business, Internet business’s can pose significant risk, but equally signficant gains.

We spend our days analysing the business models of start-up’s and early stage Internet company’s until we find models that together with the right management, we believe have winning combinations.

And with my background in Internet Ventures, we can add the missing ingredients to the company’s who aren’t realising their potential.

We offer 2 ways of investing:

1. We introduce you to start-up’s and early stage company’s who are looking for funding or who are looking to sell and you make the final decision as to whether you want to invest.
2. You tell us how much you want to invest, and we handle the decision making process.

  • 33 Harry Heydon // Dec 5, 2010 at 12:25 pm

    I am a twice awarded NEDBANK Local hero Not for this project) and have designed- and am already manufacturing on a small scale- a vehicle hybridization system that hugely decreases emissions on all vehicles and saves fuel as a side effect.
    The system is extremely cost effective and I have converted a few vehicles, old and new, already.
    This may be a necessary modification to older vehicles in view of the new emissions laws, ans has the capacity to generate very lucrative sums of money.
    I am looking for a small ’silent’ investor with R250,000 to own 10% of the business. This will provide the small capital needed to set up a better production system. OR…I would sell 100% for R2,5million and remain as a tech adviser and to train people in manufacture and installation for a year following the sale.
    This system could be manufactured and distributed throughout Africa, India and China thus would suit an astute business person/s.
    The website contains extensive information.
