    Hi. I am a new contributor but a regular reader of this forum. I worked in Ireland in accounting orginally but I have been living in Colombia with the past three years. I have an exportation business for handmade Colombian artesanal goods in the US. I also have a modest Amazon FBA business which is growing consistently every month. I am looking to speak to someone that is clued in with regards to selling in one of or all of the following a) retail b)distribution c) online in ireland.
    I have a niche product that if marketed correctly at Irish women could be profitable. I have two suppliers of the range of products guaranteed. I was thinking of perhaps trying to sell online myself in Ireland but I need to investigate fulfillment etc more. Feel free to pm me questions and I can give more information about the product etc It would be preferable if you gave me some info about your own background prior to doing so.

    Thanks

    Mod: Moved your post - this is the place if you are looking for a business partner. Discussion by pm only.

    We've been working hard over the last 3 years to make the perfect online fitness product for our target market (men 20 - 40). We essentially have everything to get us off the ground with a powerful and aggressive launch but we need a dedicated online marketer.

    You don't have to be an expert in digital marketing per se.. but more importantly someone who is able to look at this business and create the best online marketing 'strategy' for it based on what our business is.

    Please PM me if you want to know more, thanks.

    Regards.
    Paul.

    Hi Guys/Gals,

    I am and entrepreneur/MBA graduate looking for a new project. Ideally I am looking for someone who is willing to purchase a Chopped franchise with me. The ROI on it is great and it is already a proven business concept which removes a lot of the risk.
    The benefit of this is that once it is up and running, it would give us time, and funds, to do other things.

    I am however also open to other franchises/business ideas such as cafes/resturants etc. I have a marketing and PR company already so this is the only area in which I can not operate as it would be a conflict of interest on my behalf.

    any takers pm me and we can start building an empire.
    Hi, looking to partner with anyone who is interested in entertainment biz. I have franchise for an international pageant and 4 new concept of my own i want to Implement here. Can we discuss more if you are interested.

    I have had three successful businesses, in property and telecoms.

    This is where I can come in as I have great business acumen and can help set the dream into a reality.
    Please pm me if interested, I'm based in Dublin
    Thanks

    I am setting up an online education company for an untapped market that is growing at a phenomenal rate. Courses are being developed at the moment and have identified a suitable platform. There is no debt in the business. I could do with a partner now who has an IT background (specifically in the area of e-learning, if possible) as I am coming from the education and management area. I am working on this fulltime and am hoping to have the first intake of students in September. I would love to partner up with somebody who can compliment my skillset. PM if interested.

    Hi All,

    Not sure how this work, posting first time on board.

    I am Faraz Mir, living in Ireland for last 2 years, I am currently studying my masters degree in Marketing, I have 10+ years of experience in sales/marketing/business development particularly with industrial equipment and capital equipment in Pakistan's Market also a couple of year experience of working with an Irish and a Dutch company as their company representative in Pakistan.

    Having extensive experience and market knowledge I am thinking to start something for my self (of course at a small scale).

    I am looking to speak with entrepreneur/manufacturers, companies who are interested to sell/export or say expand their business in Pakistani territory, be the products are industrial, consumer or IT, not to forget the market size is humongous.

    Your suggestion/advise are highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Faraz Mir

    I'm a successful serial entrepreneur looking for a technical business partner, technical service provider, technical free-lancer or some mix of the above.

    I strongly believe in the potential for Augmented Reality Glasses. I don't think they are ready for consumers, but what is there is very suitable for industrial/commercial use (price, form factor etc). Examples of currently available hardware are
    http://osterhoutgroup.com/products-r7
    https://epson.com/For-Work/Wearables/Smart-Glasses/Moverio-BT-300-Smart-Glasses-%28AR-Developer-Edition%29-/p/V11H756020
    https://daqri.com/

    I have the ODG and the epsons ones, and am waiting on a daqri headset. you can try them out when we meet.

    Over the past few months I've started a project to see if I could get some customers to buy in. I've learned a lot and believe there is good potential there.

    You can see my smoke filled sales sight at www.industrialsight.com

    From this and a bunch of sales calls I've had a few requests for demos from very large companies who have innovation budgets. I also should get confirmation next week that we will get a stand in the start up section of European Utility Week. (http://www.european-utility-week.com/ - Europes larges events for ESB type companies, of which there are many - and large ones too) which should have a bunch of good targets as they all have tax payers money to spend on innovation.

    Anyway... besides testing the hardware, I have done almost nothing on the software development side of this software business! I like the lean startup methodology and making sure I was comfortable with the sales and to some extend the hardware was my first move.

    So our immediate need is for someone to help me build a demo for those initial customers meetings and the trade show (for a description including Wireframe see https://vrex.io/job/1053). The time is short so we need to get things moving (hence the ad on VREX). Ideally though I will find a full business partner now. We can agree a contract whereby I pay you to do the demo but we switch to a partnership if we are happy working together. Or what ever else makes sense. I'm flexible.

    So in the long run I am looking for someone who understands the full stack. Android dev (and the non-standard stuff that will come with this road - please see the ODG dev site on the vrex site), IOS dev (https://www.wired.com/story/arkit-augmented-reality/ - though this is down the road), back end stuff like linking to customers data bases, hardware stuff like making the glasses work in non-idea wifi conditions and any other weird and wonderful things we encounter. In other words... a CTO!

    I am fairly comfortable at sales, operations and finance etc. If you PM me I will send on my CV and you will see I do have some credibility in this area. I can provide lots of good references from my past partners

    I can provide some funding to get us going, then my goal is to raise a lot of money and flood Europe with a high end sales team.

    I'm based in Dublin but fairly flexible with this being a virtual business or whatever.

    Anyway, DM me and lets talk

    We've recently completed phase 1 development of a multi platform mobile application platform and we're now at the stage of looking to bring on board a partner with the relevant business skillset.

    I will be able to provide a significant amount of further detail for interested parties.

    Who are we?

    Three Irish based individuals who have recently developed an incredible mobile platform to operate within Ireland as a service. There is scope for this to expand geographically - and potentially white label. The business is a recently formed Limited company in Ireland.

    What are we looking for?

    Business Competency & Investment to launch. Our experience is in technology and marketing (and the particular industry we are launching in). We are looking for someone to come on board with the competency to put the correct structure on the business from an accounting, finance and policy & procedure perspective. The ultimate goal would be for this person to have significant go to market experience and investor reach for additional funding when necessary and be willing to invest for an equity stake in the company.

    Note: We have funding on the table pending relevant projections and completion of an appropriate business plan. We've spoken to some external parties with regards to outsourcing this and have some options at a cost, but prepared to discuss with interested potential partners before making a decision. Just to be transparent from the outset - we have attempted to partially do this but feel our lack of competency shows.

    Idealistically, we'd like the new partner to drive preparation on this to get to presentation level - or be in a position to have or gain access to alternative funding.

    Potential:

    Massive, absolutely massive.

    Can discuss more post-NDA.

    Thanks,
    Joe

    Hi,

    I run a small successful online business selling footwear. Due to the growth of the business, I am looking to find someone become part of this business and help make it the success it can be. I run it full time, but there is only so many hours in the day.

    I have stock, so I would need someone to buy into the business. I sell via website, eBay, Facebook and have many return customers, with the website being very popular for a start up. The website has huge potential. My main market is Ireland followed by the UK.

    If you have experience selling online and it's something you are passionate about please get in touch. As I said, I do this full time so I would be looking for someone to commit to the business rather than a silent partner. I am based on the border ideally I would someone based up here.

    If anyone interested please let me know

    Thanks

    I have worked for the past 18 months on 3 online software packages to assist with bookkeeping, time management & document processing.
    I am however not a software programmer (I am an accountant) myself & have been outsourcing development but I realise that for the company to grow we must bring the development work in house.

    I have been selling software in my own business for 14 years but up to now I have just been acting as a resellers so I am hoping to connect with someone who has access to their own programmers & with experience of launching their own online products.

    Thank you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1 TaskBlast


    I am looking for a business partner for a SaaS software company. In particular, someone who is strong in sales and marketing B2B/SaaS and pitching.

    I have a product that is ready to sell, although there is still many months of development to expand and improve it to the product I want it to be. You can google TaskBlast to check the product out as I can't post links yet. The product was recently released and throughout the beta and early release, it has seen signups in over 60 countries.

    I have already raised pre-seed funding for the business through New Frontiers and a well-known accelerator in Ireland while I also invested over €30,000 in the business. I got through to the last 2 pitch stages for €50,000 in funding for the competitive startup fund through Enterprise Ireland (down to the last 20-25 and 10 or so get the money) but was not successful on those occasions.

    Both pitches were before we officially released. We now are generating revenue although it is small due to the high cost per acquisition and only recently launching.

    I need someone that will pitch with me on the next CSF pitch and work in a sales and marketing capacity as pitching is not my strongest asset. I am very optimistic with a business partner and the fact the company is no longer pre-revenue, that we will get the €50,000 funding on the next call in Feb/March.

    There will need to be time invested without pay until the funding comes through as my last funding recently ran out. I am fine if the deal is contingent on us getting the €50k funding. After the funding is secured a salary will be appointed. I will consider someone initially working on a part-time basis. Investment is not required although it is preferred. Equity and wage negotiable depending on experience and milestones hit.

    I have over 7 years experience, the majority in a managerial and project management position, for a software company so I have experience managing a support team and working on product design and experience which I used to get the product to where it is today.

    Please get in touch for more information, to arrange a meeting in person or to discuss further.

    Hi all,
    Ideally I would be posting this on the marketing page but that has been closed so if any one can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
    My name is Kevin Ryan from Castlebar and I run a motorhome/campervan rental business called Ireland West Motorhomes.
    We are now entering our 8th year in business and have been steadily growing despite doing very little advertising / marketing so we have now decided that its time to get moving on this.
    An idea I came up with was that there must be some marketer out there that would like a weeks rental for a family in one of our motorhomes in return for marketing work . I was thinking in the region of €1500.00 worth of marketing in return for a week in one of our luxury 7 berth 2016 motorhomes .
    Would anyone be interested in doing a swap ? Id love to hear from you with any ideas that you may have on how we could proceed with this idea and what I could expect in return for a €1500.00 rental.
    My email address is iwmotorhomes @ gmail.com

    Hi,
    I have been outsourcing development work on 2 business management software tools for the last 2 years.
    One is an online time recording tool & the other is a cloud accounting software.
    Neither are 100% ready for market yet but at the same time both should be ready within a few months. Development is ongoing.
    There is a third project but its only at infancy.
    I am not a programmer myself, hence why I have outsourced the development work. I would like to find a business partner with a technical background who could possibly assist with the future development to allow us to bring development in house & also help with funding future developments & proper launch of the projects.

    Thank you,

    Killian

    I am an Irish guy with a background in accounting and marketing.
    I am looking for a partner to supply the financial support to buy small profitable contract cleaning businesses and expand and grow them.
    The first buy will cost roughly 50k and I would manage it and grow it. Hopefully with more additions if successful.
    The partner can be silent or fully involved.
    It would be a 50/50 partnership and I would intend to take no wages on each project until the 50k is repaid to the partner first.
    I have experience in the industry and am focused and have good contacts.

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]I have been a CTO co-founder of two mildly successful SAAS platforms (in the telco & advertising spaces) which are still operating but they take up just a couple of hours a week so I am looking for other opportunities & ideally to find a “non tech” partner to explore potential opportunities. [/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]I am looking to someone who has been through the startup process & knows the realities but is still open to “conservative opportunities” [/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]I would rather just bootstrap, research, build an MVP and promote or perish.[/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]Opportunity might be developing a self serve platform which doesn't require too much support or maybe some form of tech services ideally for enterprise clients I don’t want to be prescriptive - If the relationship is good the business will evolve & pivot anyway. The idea here is not to try & build a big company and get investment rather to identify several small software opportunities.[/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]I am NOT looking for someone who has an existing project or who believes their app is going to change the world and needs it to be built & can give me some equity. [/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]I would describe myself at a minimum as a technical Project Manager specializing in SAAS dev,. AWS architect & building & managing remote development teams. As well as my own businesses I have built remote dev teams for machine learning & financial products as a remote CTO. I apply ITIL standards, am GDPR compliant and both my current companies are registered as data processors[/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]I am based in the EU but travel to Ireland regularly for meetings and am moving back to Ireland full time within the next year.[/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]I have been doing this a long time (I am in my fifties ) I have been through the whole EI HPSU process, received seed round funding but not really looking to go down the startup path again in terms of EI, etc[/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]I would rather just bootstrap, research, build an MVP and promote or perish.[/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]Opportunity might be developing a self serve platform which doesn't require too much support or maybe some form of tech services ideally for enterprise clients I don’t want to be prescriptive - If the relationship is good the business will evolve & pivot anyway. The idea here is not to try & build a big company and get investment rather to identify several small software opportunities.[/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]I am NOT looking for someone who has an existing project or who believes their app is going to change the world and needs it to be built & can give me some equity. [/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]I would describe myself at a minimum as a technical Project Manager specializing in SAAS dev,. AWS architect & building & managing remote development teams. As well as my own businesses I have built remote dev teams for machine learning & financial products as a remote CTO. I apply ITIL standards, am GDPR compliant and both my current companies are registered as data processors[/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]I am based in the EU but travel to Ireland regularly for meetings and am moving back to Ireland full time within the next year.[/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]If you think there might be some synergy please DM me [/font]

    [font=Arial, sans-serif]Cheers, Skippy[/font]

    Mod: Moved to appropriate thread

    Sounds very befuddled, are you looking for projects to develop offshore(remote dev)? but you say you're not looking for existing projects? surely it would be better to work with an existing wheel that is nearly there to MVP but needs the extra bit to take it over the line instead of trying to reinvent one?

    Hi all,

    I am looking for a business partner who is working in recruitment consultancy to set up a new agency based in Donegal.

    There is a huge gap in the market down here and it is about time someone filled it. I have spoken with many different friends who are in business and they all seem to have the same problem; they cannot get good staff, and in some cases, just can't get staff at all! I even know from personal experience how hard it is to get good staff.

    I'll give you a bit about myself - I live down in Donegal and set up a tax refund business at the end of 2017. This business has seen huge success in it's first 12 months seeing revenues hit €1.5m to date this year, so now I want to expand my interest to other areas where I feel there is a gap in the market.

    I am ideally looking for someone who is working in recruitment already and feels they have the drive to succeed running their own agency. It would probably suit someone who is originally from Donegal and who wants to move home, I'm not sure too many people will be jumping at the idea of relocating to Donegal!

    If anyone is interested then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

    Thanks for reading!

    Gary

    Hi Folks
    Im looking for an Investor for a new / never seen before award winning product that I have developed for the music Industry.
    I have a fully functioning pre production prototype, a full EU design patent in place and an Industry leader in the US Interested in being a distributor for It. They can also open up distribution channels in mainland EU for me. I also have companies in Canada and Ireland Interested in being distributors.
    I have sourced a company here In Ireland with agents In China who can do manufacturing / packaging at a great price thus allowing for great margins and they can also Import for me.
    After I got my patent In place I went public with it for further market research and ended up having to take the product off line completely as I had musicians trying to pre order and pre pay through my Facebook account. I also had the largest online music magazine in the world contact me looking to run a feature on it.
    I dont have any further cash to Inject into the project and I dont want to go down the licensing route or down the crowdfunding road either if I can avoid it so I am looking for an Investor to come on board. My plan Is to manufacture In China then distribute from a hub here, the exact process / supply chain from B2C will have to be figured out as part of moving the project forward. It could mean drop shipping orders straight to the US and Canada direct from China rather than a big distribution center here.
    I have also had the Interested party in the US ask me if I would be prepared to manufacture another product in the same sector specifically for them for distribution.
    The product itself is designed to be the "Black and Decker workmate" for the musical Instrument Industry and is the first of a range of products I aim to bring to market loosely based around the same Idea . The product has many USPs specific to the environment it is designed to operate In and solves a multitude of common problems musicians encounter .
    I have videos of the product in operation and I am happy to meet with any Interested party to discuss. The financial Investment would only be part of the package as I am also looking for someone with a business background that I can get on and work well with and can give advice and offer solutions to any problems encountered.
    I know this industry inside and out as I have operated in it in a professional and semi professional capacity for over 30 years, I also hold a business related degree and have a background in sales management.
    I have major contacts globally who I have already contacted direct and they have given the product their seal of approval. They are also happy to help push it within the Industry for me and display it at NAMM ..(National Association of Music Merchants) , the biggest music trade fare in the world held twice a year in the US and EU. This has all the potential to be a great investment for the right person. I would foresee an Investment in the region of €20,000 getting the project to the next stage of development although I am happy to sit down and trash this out with any seriously interested party , It may end up being more or less. The Investment will also reflect the amount of equity that will be offered. I wont be emailing videos as I would prefer to sit down and discuss the opportunity face to face and disclose the product then.
    No tire kickers please, you wont be replied to, only seriously interested parties. You can DM me with any questions and expressions of Interest .

    Thanks
