Looking for advice to get in front of serious investors?

Hello ACP family and friends,

I want to give an update on the good advice I received from ACP advisors who are helping soldiers to write their 2nd chapter in life. I received some good advice from those who took time to read my questions, and thank you for everything up to this point. Now I am in a position to launch my organization off the ground without any holes or unforeseen potholes. 1st I took the advice of my advisors to form a business plan text and video, retain my organization website, launched on social network and signed up with every funding site there is.

Also conducted a focus group on my idea with state politician, business leaders, religious leaders, lawyers and college professors. The feedback I receive was positive on all levels, I have a sound economics format, there's a real need for it, the impact would change lives, it a proven concept, create a new industry and new jobs, huge market to expand into. Now all I need is some advise on strategies for identifying and contacting investors. If you would like to see my ideal feel free to click the link below.

Derrick,

Interesting idea and concept. I would recommend reaching out and interviewing professional fund raisers. Will your venture be for profit or non-profit?

I would also reach out to The Bunker, a veteran non-profit that provides information and guidance to veteran businesses.

They might have a class, webinar or opportunity to help you connect with qualified funds to fuel your project.

Thank You
Kit
