How can one obtain investors for a new, Large, $Billion+ yearly revenue grossing, enterprising Corporation/ Conglomerate (that would create thousands of new jobs, new industries, franchises, in addition to untold thousands of already established trade jobs as well), without complete disclosure of specific detailed? Can one offset complete disclosure with conditional assignment of equipment and properties ascertained in the commission of the endeavor, to be realized in lieu of before hand collateral? Whereby ownership conveyance becomes such in effect, only if terms have not been fulfilled within 5 years after business has become fully operational or renegotiated, with optional preferences favorable to the enterprise (Name disclosure at later time) if within reasonable margins of fulfillments. And what would be the current standard climate / policy / trend, regarding investor’s % entitlements, of such a large revenue grossing conglomerate?

Jimmie,
A book I find very helpful and have recommended many times is The Art of the Start by Guy Kawasaki. It's short, concise and covers many of the basics of launching a new venture. It is especially good on how to pitch to investors.
Best of luck to you,
Keith
Jimmie,
As a condition to disclosing your plan, have targeted investors sign a confidentiality agreement drafted by your attorney.

Jimmie - what does your business plan look like ? Whom do you currently have on your team ? Obtaining funding is the easiest step. You need to write a business plan that details out all the nitty gritty. There is nothing new under the sun. Your idea for a product or service is not unique in the sense that if there were market demand, people would already be pursuing it. A great idea for a product or service is just that, a great idea. There is alot more effort needed to achieve market penetration than having an idea. Have you written a business plan ? JG
Jimmie,
I would start off by going to www.angellist.com. I would also research venture capitalists and how to do a pitch deck. I would also research how equity works in a startup.
No one is going to invest any money in a business without knowing all the details. You are going to have to show a MVP, traction, and future potential earnings at a minimum.
