Hi,

I am going through this process and am a fair way down the track. You need
to engage someone or an organisation with good rep. A business or individual
who has existing contacts who have money ready to go. I know this sounds
like common sense, though I also understand how necessity gets in the way of
thinking with the left part of the brain/cost etc.

If going down the IM route, be careful how you structure costing etc. If you
are signing someone and reducing cost of production through offering equity,
make sure you put specific performance dates and criteria in your agreement.
Let me tell you, you will know if someone is good or not in the first 3-4
weeks. If you have doubts in that time, it is usually not going to get
better.

Like sales/marketing, it's about profiling. Who is going to be most
interested in your proposition and why? Experience, Portfolio, Capital
amount, Dumb Investor, Sophisticated Investor?

I have someone who I can recommend whom is very experienced and has good
contacts. He is quality.

If anyone wants an intro, let me know. Please provide brief outline of
business.

Hope this helps in some way.
