$4.75M+raising

38 investors

Two permitted 1,000 MW natural gas plants in Houston, built to sell to an institutional buyer.

My biggest concern was you're going to get people that don't have money or don't know what they're doing. Every call has been a quality call. No calls have wasted my time, which is impressive.

One investor wired $600k in 4 days

An all-in-one software platform for local service firms, funded by a royalty on its revenue.

He came in thinking $200K, then said he had $600K available if it wasn't too much. Four, five days total. The next one wired $300K after one call. It's always that simple with real people.
