Mark your calendar to join us tonight, Wednesday, October 4, at 6pm downstairs in the Safari Lounge of Sanctuary. Our Special Guest this week is Mr. Richard Shaw. Co-Founder of www.CapitalDemand.com Richard Shaw has had a long and varied career related to the capital markets. He has raised and invested over one billion dollars in Real Estate and businesses. It is his experience that led to the creation of www.capitaldemand.com Fed up with endless dialing of the telephone and pitching of investments Mr. Shaw turned to the web as an efficient way to raise capital. Unfortunately, what he found were endless listings of venture capitalists, banks, and other "public" information sources that still needed to be contacted the old fashion way--one at a time either by phone or email. He also found many match making sites that charged a membership fee to the Capital Providers. Their service was free to Capital Seekers but matches turned out to be money brokers who would pitch Mr. Shaw on paying them to help him locate money! Sorry, but those with money don't have to pay a membership fee to find investment opportunities and few if any private investors would allow their contact information to be spread all over the web, especially if they have to pay for it! Mr. Shaw wanted to be able to submit a specific deal to lenders and equity investors both public and private and to have his specific deal matched against what the lenders or investors had previously acknowledge was their interest! He also wanted to do this by mass email. In effect, send one email to all the matching prospective lenders and investors at once. This would cut out the one at a time approach saving loads of time and money. Not finding what he needed Mr. Shaw create it! The result is www.CapitalDemand.com a specialized database management service that automatically matches individuals and businesses seeking investment capital with investors and lenders seeking investment opportunities. Capital Demand provides access to WORLD WIDE investment capital for inventors, entrepreneurs, businesses and real estate developers. It caters to both debt and equity financing of commercial real estate and business's. Capital Demand's database consists of more than 15,000 Capital Providers who have indicated their equity or lending parameters. These parameters vary in specificity, but usually include geographic, monetary, and industry preferences. Listing as a Capital Provider is free and all Capital Provider information is kept strictly confidential. For a modest fee of $149 the Capital Seekers investment criteria is emailed directly to the lenders and investors with no further involvement on the part of www.CapitalDemand.com. It is then up to the Capital Provider to make contact with the Capital Seeker. Without this anonymity few if any private sources of capital would have signed up let alone paid a fee to do so! It is with great pleasure that Mr. Richard Shaw. Founder of www.CapitalDemand.com will be our Special Guests this week. . For more information and a map to the Soiree see: www.baroncapital.com BBB/KSM
