My company is making the switch from manufacturing RC blimps to building a fleet and offering only lease options. We already have several clients lined up, but we need some investment money to push into the major markets. If you are interested you can contact me at the below contact information. Check out our web site and look at our blimps.
Thanks,

Tony,
Be carefull bro!.. We have been offered tons of money..for 75% of the company.. That seems to be the magic number for alot of guys with deep pockets.. They also want to see fat revenue streams right off the bat.. I can completely understand the logic behind both of those because its obvious that they have to CYA.. The thing alot of them dont understand the complexity of this up and coming industry and the hurtles we face.. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you find someone with a little more flexibility when it comes to financing and revenue streams...

I am lookin out for you as I run across a lot of investors that might be interested. I do aggree this is a Long investment so you need somone who is in understanding of this industry.
However you are doing advertising and that is a whole nother game you could get lucky but I rarely hear a positive story with these situations.
I will be straight you are going about it correctly but as Myron says most investors want the moon for thier risk. If you find the right guy it will be through a friend of a friend or some board like this or something.
Do you have a business Plan??? If so PM me and I will send you my email if you send me a .pdf I can forward it on to a few people all investors I know want a formal business plan at the very least.

I do not have a business plan, because the business is already established. I am however putting a marketing plan together with a marketing agency in Dallas. I just got back from Santiago Chile. They where hosting their bi-annual air show/arms sale. They had aerospace companies all over the world trying to sell their products to Chile. The company that bought one of my 35 foot blimps got to demo their blimp and display it at the show. I went down there to fly the demo and help them sell the blimp. The show is a week long, and ends this weekend. We hope to get some hits from the show.

I have run in to some of the things Tony was saying about investors.( composite shop ) most of the ones i have talk to want anywhere from %75 to %90 of owner ship and a FAT return as soon as they can get it.. so i am still on the look out for funding to get a lager shop going with more capabilities so i can go after lager Parts and Contracks. Most investors i have talk to are not looking for a Long term investment. they want money FAST..lol.. I have work for other places and I know the work it out there. its just getting the CAPITAL needed to take to Next level? to get tools set up and things to really make a go at it.. do any of you guys know of any place i could post my Composite shop Proposal on the net?? so i can see about getting other investors interested?? I have been doing some small scale work here in my small shop at home for some aircraft projects but really want to get a real shop going.. Been in the Composites and Aviation for 10 years and well Tired of working for others.. lol..
