Re: Venture Capital Funding/Venture Partnering For Web Site Developers/Entrepreneurs

Hello;

My firm is currently considering providing financial and strategic backing of promising websites and website developers. It is my job to determine the viability of this project.

Our Background

We (DataMerge, Inc.) are currently the largest provider of financing/financial information to businesses, intermediaries and financing professionals worldwide. Our information products and financial application software is distributed via stand alone software products, custom stand-alone databases, and most recently, over the internet.

DataMerge has been featured in publications including Inc., Financial Times, Entrepreneur, Success, Denver Post, and LA Times to name a few.

What we provide

DataMerge's existing development, marketing and distribution channels can provide website developers with the backing they need to quickly (and profitably) move an idea through development and into the market.

Without this kind of backing, most ideas never make it to market, and if they do, fail because the developer doesn't have the resources to properly market the product.

What we're looking for:

1. In the long run

We feel that over time, and even immediately, there is a lot of opportunity on the web. Of course, for us to commit to web development projects, we need to locate website developers who:

• Need financial backing
• Have ideas/plans for development of profitable sites.
• Have the ability to take the project from start to finish.
• Have entrepreneurial aptitude.

2. Immediately

Right now, we need to get an idea if we can generate a sufficient number of quality responses/proposals to warrant further pursuit of this market at this time.

If you feel you can develop a profitable site/service, please respond to the following preliminary questions. Every answer will be given full consideration. If we feel an opportunity exists, we will contact you for further evaluation, and if warranted, deal structuring.
