Hi Fishes, I am seeking an investment for my start to scale up. Product is developed, ready to go. Have done some sales. Made mistakes, learned from them. Feel we have clear plan for scale up. Money would go on sales team & related expenses. $1.5 million sought. I am offering 15% equity in return for the investment. In additional, I am offering that the business pay back the investment capital to the investor. Is this too rich? Is it a usual model?

Typically you wouldn’t offer both debt repayment and equity stake

Thank you

Projection is that investment plus 70% would be paid back in 3 years

What’s your 1,3,5 year revenue projection and how many swe’s do you have/will you need?

You’re valuing the company at $10 million. So if it’s worth that, then it’s a start

No payback to the investor, just dividends or exit strategy in biz plan. Or just take debt

Thanks. Perfect

Hi all,

Looking for a little help on developing a website prototype to test (app too if possible). I need:

A backend that allows for volunteers to add their availability hours (something like Calendly integration), short bio, profile pic etc

A front end that requires users to sign up, and then lets them directly sign up with the volunteers.

I looked at Wix online booking system but you can only schedule staff by working hours. Built sites on WP before but lacking in time currently.
