If I was to invest $10,000 into you, what would be your business plan?

begin designing and then manufacturing my line of 'towel clothing' and 'towel bed cover sets'

basically, the towel clothing is made of the same towel material that you grew up with, when its dry it becomes slightly rough, but a pleasant sensation to my eyes nonetheless
theres the shirt, pants, socks, slippers

the idea is you get out of your bath/shower (you could put towel clothing in the dryer before you have shower so its warm to the touch once you get out) and put on your towel clothing ready for bed

also the bed's fitted sheet is made out of towel material, so are the pillowslips and sheet / quilt cover

the reason i reckon this idea would take off is that for the next 100 years at least the worlds economic climate is going downhill, people are out of work/working shitty jobs
and so its comforts with roots in our childhood that will appeal to people
 
With 10,000?

Where do you live, Michigan? Lol.

sorry,

I meant to say, I would hire a hooker and buy some drugs, and get a politician in my pocket with a polaroid or something to that effect, which I would then leverage to procure billions in no bid defence cost + contracts, I would then sell lucrative subcontracts for this at enormous profit to a offshore account where the real money goes.

I'm telling you guys, renewable energy. I studied enviro/civil engineering and that is the way things are heading. If you invest in a young renewable energy company with credentials, there is no losing. $10G will turn into a lot more in the next decade or more
 
"Renewable energy" isn't a business plan....


The nature of this thread is contradictory. If someone has a "well-thought out" business plan they were going to submit to potential investors, i hope they wouldn't post it on bluelight!
 
That's not a lot of money in the business world or academic world, so you need to use it wisely. That's not even a full year of grad student stipend (that's about 3 months of a grad student's salary).

I would use it to support a student doing research on renewable energy (my field). I would use it to buy reagents and supplies to do research.

You could fund a short-term project but that would be high risk because its such a short amount of time.
