Seeking financial partners

Hi Ali_82 !

You should probably post an advert in the business partners section of Philippines classifieds.
It might help.

Been working for different companies including giant global IT-based corporation, I'm now about to move to Philippines for good. Being in Philippines several times and observing people, environment and government, I have planned to make a business under my wife's name who is a Filipina. Not like others you can read and hear every where. A kind of business that God' willing I'll be able to make a good fortune out of it. It involves registering trademark, slogan and the company itself. Though I might be able to cover all the investment by myself, I was wondering if I could find some honest partners to add up to the investment and speeding up the process. How ever I'd like to mention the fact that I will be the one in charge of the project and every one will have a share according to what he/she brings in. Let me hear your suggestions now...

What do u mean by not like other business u read and hear every where?

thats such a strange thing to say?

@Ali_82 What is the business exactly?  P.m. me please.

"I have planned to make a business under my wife's name who is a Filipina. Not like others you can read and hear every where. "

what does even mean?  a hundred  businesses are registered every single day with the same pie in the sky statement by just about every overly optimistic joe smith who swears by some sort of variation of: "this idea has never been thought of before!"

Sorry, but this is completely vague nonsense to me.  please share more details to your public post otherwise this might be contrived as just being an open invitation to be part of a scam.

So lets get this right. The OP wants everyone to 'pony up' some dough but he remains in charge?

2013 post, the OP (a likely scammer) is long gone.

@pnwcyclist Yeah, this one most definitely didn't pass the smell test 😁

OP here! A few points:

• This is an outdated post from 2013. A lot has happened since then.
• I decided to not execute my plan due to some reasons, notably because I was short of funding. Years later and while being there in the PH, I found a similar concept being launched, however, only partially.
• The reason I haven't explained a word about my plan is to keep a low profile. You don't want the world to know what you're up to beforehand!
• I stand by my original plan, even as of today Feb. 13th, 2023. However, I have to make a choice on how to prioritize things, namely: Still looking for a business partner for my long-lasting idea or finishing up my AI project. What others can hope to achieve by putting together a team of several software engineers costing $50k monthly or above, I can do it all by myself and I am working on it on a daily basis.
• To Wellsfry: Thanks mate, I'll message you.
• While me being a scammer was debatable, some of you being a spammer is proven. Go study and learn new stuff... The world is changing right before our own eyes, yet you are here making a judgement whether I am a scammer or not! That's not a wise way of spending your time unless if you think you have too much of it! Take my advise... It's for your own good.

Really?

Sir, you are posting investment "opportunities" on an expat forum not actually intended for that purpose. So you are reaching many people who will judge you and they absolutely have that right because it was you who made a case to them. 10 years later you are still at it and haven't moved an inch. Spare us the victim card from being 'misjudged' by people including myself who do not assume that every stranger we meet on the internet is on the up and up. You even have an anonymous ID which doesn't help much.

I don't agree with your logic. Building network among fellow expats living in the Philippines is nothing but logical. The only matter is how to distinguish a real opportunity from a scam. I have already a couple of prospects who just answered me because for some reasons this post got brought up again. Who are these people who messaged me and asking for more info?

• Those with genuine interest to make an investment.
• Those who trust in their intelligence to tell apart an opportunity from a scam
• Those who are aware of their comfort zone and willing to expand it.

Then, what kind of people go out of their way to write sarcastic messages here? Let them be happy in their tiny comfort zone.

As to me not moving an inch!!! Truth be told, I keep my ideas waiting for an opportunity. That does not mean I disregard them. I move on with other things that are more viable, given my circumstances. AI is the future and I am so happy to be a software engineer. That's more important to me than a still-valid-idea I got years ago. Heck, I am even seeing a possibility of mixing AI in my original idea... Now, this is getting more like a debate and I don't have the time nor interest to engage in it. My last word: Read news, learn new things, invest in yourself. You are deemed to succeed, one way or another!

Thank God for small favors

@Ali_82 if your idea is of such great magnitude and so viable you should have no trouble attracting investors. Why are you on here pushing your incredible idea and asking for funds?? UMM!

An honest, thought out position.

The OP doesn't appear to be a scammer, but his dreams match neither his hopes nor his abiliies.

His sites are a little crass and come over as very unprofessional, and his dream of a massive wage bill as part of an even bigger company is about as realistic as my hope to buy new underwear before my only 2 pairs reach 30 years old.

His email addresses come to nothing, the same for his telephone numbers. His companies show no hits worth a 20 year old pair of white Y fronts, and his prowess as a designer of anything past an impossible dream is debatable.

I won't even consider investing, and I strongly recommend looking at his companies' histories before you do.

Perhaps a new site -waltermitty.com- would be a good idea.

@Ali_82 AI. Of course! You must not forget AI. The new thing that didn't exist 10 years ago. The missing ingredient. I do not believe this forum is a networking mechanism for investors and I will continue to judge any sketchy plans brought to this forum which conveniently includes many seniors who often have a lot a money. AI indeed. And I never even called you a scammer; you are just looking for people who might be interested in lightening their wallets.

Those of us who are in, built, run or started a business can see all the hallmarks of a scam in both the original post *and* the update 😁

Looking at the original post, please excuse me, he says "God willing" a phrase often used by Iranians. There are so many God's, I often wondered can God create a stone so large he can't lift it? Ali's bio indicates he is Iranian.

In the past I've had business with people of Iranian descent. My business ethics are a deal is only a good deal if it benefits both parties. Unfortunately in some parts of the world a person is looked at as an astute business person if they can get over on you.

Ali has years to work on his plan, he mention registering a Trademark, Slogan & Company. Is that done? Almost 10 years has elapsed.

He said me might be able cover the investment by himself. He didn't actively ask for partners on this forum but nevertheless it seemed like a feeler.

Ali If you are looking for investment or business partners, you've made a poor choice by looking at this forum. Expats in the Philippines are seniors or close to being seniors. They are retired or semi retired.

Are you prospecting for investors on this forum? Evil Knievel was a great huckster making a living off his motorcycle skills. Prior to his fame he was an insurance salesman, a great huckster, he set a district record of selling 271 policies in one week. Unfortunately they were residents in a State Mental Hospital.

Do you expect any member of this forum to buy a Pig in a poke, whoops better rephrase that, substitute Chicken for Pig. Whatever your business plan is, you will never get any investors without diverging what it is. If I had invested in your original post, the money would be long gone.

I'm not interest in investing in a better mouse trap or reinventing the wheel. "Take my advise . . . it's for your own good"

Yep, sarcasm may be the lowest form of wit but at times deserved, I won't call the opinions here sarcasm but merely skepticism of a seller of an unknown product or quantity that hasn't been around for 8 or 9 years on this topic and seems has done nothing and still looking for fools to invest in your "idea"? After all this time? Golly I've achieved so many things in 8 years and I never needed an investor.

Yes I'm cynical and not stupid, seen it all go down before with gullible fools. I wish you luck but after all this time? Shoot me down in flames but I've been busy as has the AI industry.

OMO.

Cheers, Steve.
