		<description>Twitter asks &quot;what are you doing.&quot;? My startup asks &quot;what do you want?.&quot;

Once they sign up at the site, users tweet random requests. Followers tweet back with solutions or suggestions.

Businesses or anyone wishing to sell something sign up with a business account to have their tweets bypass the follower system, for a fee of a couple cents per tweet. The tweets by businesses or anyone wishing to sell something will be controlled by the website to optimize the response to the user and limited by the website to eliminate spamming.

If the site is popular, it will generate millions of requests per day, millions of responses from followers, and millions of sellers per day. Followers are not charged for responses. But when sellers are charged one cent per tweet to bypass the follower system so that we can tweet their solution/suggestion, that comes to about $10,000 per day.

Investors will get half of the revenue from the website.</description>

		<description>2. It can not be a business that generates any revenue from advertising. Why ? Because I want this to be a business where you sell something and get paid for it. Thats the only way to get and stay profitable in such a short period of time.

I guess it&#039;s ok to sell the kool-aid mix, just not the kool-aid?</description>

		<description>Hi M.C.-
This is my idea. A sanitary bed that enables people with little or no mobility to expel impurities from the body, exerting little physical energy due to medical condition, age or other physical factors. How is this bed beneficial: It gives the person a since of dignity, self reliance and respect. It also allows medical staff, Home health staff, assistance living staff, and patients living at home less stress due to lifting, moving, and assisting in the process of bowel movement. The bed will eliminate the process of cleaning unwelcome messes. How this bed works: Picture a hospital bed or a regular bed with a stool mechanically installed into the bed. There would be two levers on the side of the bed that controls the mechanics of the bed one lever to open the bed and bring up the stool flushed with the bed.Once flushed you could adjust the bed to ones comfort so that defecating or urinating would be simple. The second lever would be used after one had finished there business to extract the waste in a simple process that has lining within the stool to take up and dispose. This idea Sanitary Bed would revolutionize the bed industry and offer a lot of relief to people with the stated physical conditions. Every person I have communicated this idea to can relate to this through a family member or friend how it would be helpful. How do we create such a bed? I have contacted the manufacturing gurus of the industry Hill- Rom corp. and N.O.A Bed manufacturing .Hill Rom has not responded I guess due to the fact that they due over a billion in revenue a yr don&#039;t have time for the little guy and N.O.A has responded which I will share with you,don&#039;t have the resources they say. I have contacted the Governor office (Rick Perry) for assistance in new idea invention and funding resources and was sent an email of some information that I don&#039;t see how it would help. This bed would create jobs just in the manufacturing of it and sales would I believe soar because of its need. The investor would set his or her terms of how they would receive there return. I believe in this idea/product and I hope you will to. Below is an email correspondence I had with N.O.A on the idea. Thanks for your time in reading.

Hi Amy-

I am sending some drawings in a pdf file. The engineer will be able to see what I am trying to put together. My peers think sending information before the paten is complete isn’t wise. You have responded to my e-mail and have promptly returned information concerning the idea and I believe that we will have a wonderful working relationship if your company decides to move forward with this awesome idea.  Thanks, Micah

Hi Amy, I’m in the process of trying to get a Prototype, C.A.D and Paten on the idea. It’s a matter of me getting it funded. The process takes awhile “I’m learning”, that’s why I contacted your company for possible help in the process. To elaborate this bed is an invention that would enable patients with little to no mobility expels feces or other impurities. Giving the patient a sense of integrity and less stress on staff and family members.

		<description>Mr. Cuban--

This request is not so much about starting a new business as it is about finishing up some business.

I am a high school agriculture teacher. My student organization (FFA) held a meats sale fundraiser this year.  In year past we would take orders from the community in advanced, order from the fundraising company, wait two weeks for delivery and distribute the items to our customers.  Every year I get calls from people that either missed the sale or want more.  The company and more accurately our school, doesn&#039;t allow reorders.  

This year I chose to try something different.  I looked at our sales numbers for the past 3 years and added 10% to 20% to it and ordered the items in advance.  I thought that when we announced our sales, the community would come to us.  I was wrong.  

Our original bill was $17,000.  To date we have earned through sales and other events approximately $8,000.  The company has not charged any late fees or set a due date yet.  We have items in the freezers here at school and are making small sales daily.

My administration has frozen all student activities for our organization.  They have cancelled our planned trips this summer. We had planned to attend the State FFA convention in Dallas in July and send students to a leadership conference in Washington DC.  We had set aside other funds for these trips and were working separately on the money for them.

Mr. Cuban, you don&#039;t know me and probably we will never meet.  I&#039;ve debated with myself about posting this blog. I remember listening to you on the Russ Martin show a few years ago when I lived outside of Dallas.  You always struck me as a business man that is willing to help young people out.  I am asking for your help in this. I have a feeling that if this debt is not paid by the end of school (June 5th) they may shut our program down and let me go. Your generous gift of $4,000 or $5,000 or even all remaining $8,000 would be appreciated.  I&#039;ll even bring my members and come cook fajitas, tamales, chicken strips, hams or any of our other items for you in Dallas.     

Mr. Cuban, I thank you for your time and attention to this.  Once again I know this is not in the true spirit of your stimulus package as posted, however, I felt it was worth a shot.</description>

		<description>Mr. Cuban, We realize we may be a little late, but we would like to present to you, Kind Bicycles LLC. Our entire business plan is posted on slideshare at:

http://www.slideshare.net/KindBicycles/kind-bicycles-business-plan-1246763

Kind is a new brand focusing on affordable and easy to buy, ride and maintain bicycles in the fastest growing cycling category, the urban/city market with a commitment to sustainable social and environmental business practices. 

Kind Bicycles offers bike shop quality bikes that are simple, versatile, affordable, functional and competitively priced delivered to your door. 

Selling bikes online has created obstacles in the past but Kind eliminates them by offering free delivery, fully assembled bikes (just attach the front wheel and minor adjustments to the seat and handlebars and you are ready to go) and a simple fitting system that fits a large range of body types.

Kind is seeking $80,000 in capital for the final assembly, shipment and delivery for our current order of 300 bikes from Asia to the U.S. We anticipate being cash flow positive from the outset and have a 128 unit break even point with a forecast of 175 units sold in the first 90 days based on interest in the current model.  

Kind will pay a dividend of 8% annually and pay back the $80,000 in equal installments in years three to five, leaving the investors with a total of 40% equity in the company after the payback.

After the initial investment and selling through the first order, Kind retains sufficient cash-on-hand that allows for a healthy growth every year through year five without the need for additional capital.</description>

		<description>Mr. Cuban

If you are still looking for ideas to fund. Here is one. I am the guy you see at the Lifetime Club, doing Karate and talking to you sometimes.

I think that this project will produce a profit within 60 days, or less. It is a project to do a series of DVD’s and Books to train people to be a MMA fighter. You already have all the necessary ingredients to make it very inexpensive to do. You can use your production facilities at HD net to film the DVD’s and you can use your HD Fights shows and HD Fights internet presence to promote and sell the DVD’s. So your expenses will be very small. I have a detailed spreadsheet if you want to look at it.

Do not take any of the Productions numbers below as facts, as you can write most of them off. All we need to pay is a little to the “talent” for the DVD sections, and many of them will do it for the back end money potential.

Would love to talk to you about it, not at the club, where I bother you, but to one of your people at an office.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mr. Cuban</p>
<p>If you are still looking for ideas to fund. Here is one. I am the guy you see at the Lifetime Club, doing Karate and talking to you sometimes.</p>
<p>I think that this project will produce a profit within 60 days, or less. It is a project to do a series of DVD’s and Books to train people to be a MMA fighter. You already have all the necessary ingredients to make it very inexpensive to do. You can use your production facilities at HD net to film the DVD’s and you can use your HD Fights shows and HD Fights internet presence to promote and sell the DVD’s. So your expenses will be very small. I have a detailed spreadsheet if you want to look at it.</p>
<p>Do not take any of the Productions numbers below as facts, as you can write most of them off. All we need to pay is a little to the “talent” for the DVD sections, and many of them will do it for the back end money potential.</p>
<p>Would love to talk to you about it, not at the club, where I bother you, but to one of your people at an office.</p>

BY READIND THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT, THE RECEPIENT AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE AFOREMENTIONED STATEMENT. 
Quick Information Sheet

Siale is a Technology Company focusing on Research and Development:

The economic projection is to grow the company’s net profits to $100,000,000 over the next three years.

Our primary mission for the first two years is research and development and high end industry partnerships, which will ensure the marketing of our product.

Siale will take on the role of in house manufacturing in the third year of business to generate an even higher profit margin. 

 Siale will remain on the cutting edge of renewable power generation technology

Siale is supported by leading industry developers to help insure this company stays competitive, coupled with strong corporate manufacturing partnerships.

In order to protect both designed and intellectual property, Siale owns and will develop the main utility patents and several design patents, on which their technology is based.

Siale will avoid technological obsolescence by remaining focused on cutting edge research and development.  Siale has the advantage of being the first truly effective renewable energy company.

We will retain key employees by offering competitive pay and benefits, focusing on team development, and by keeping our staff engaged in the technologies we continue to develop.


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
By focusing on it’s strengths, key customers, and the underlying values they need, Siale will increase research, development and trade, while improving the gross margin on sales, cash management and working capital. 
Siale is built on the notion that the management of technology and the desire for innovation are key goals for our business. The achievement of these goals will position us as the most influential leader in the field of renewable energy.
In order to accomplish our objectives, the keys to success over the next three years are:
·	Differentiate from non-renewable energy sources and for 
        profit conglomerates, by offering and delivering new, 
        renewable, environmentally friendly energy, service and 
        support – and charging for it.
●	Increase gross margin to more than 30%. 
●	Increase our energy supply and modular power hardware 
        sales to 100% of possible manufacturing by the third 
        year. 

“Green Energy” or renewable energy is the fastest growing segment of the power, energy, and fuel market.  The growth potential for such a resource is limitless.  Siale has positioned itself to be a leader in this industry and take full advantage of the constant demand for change and the demand for a cleaner source of stable and reliable energy. 

Siale is complimented by the amazing working relationships of the partners and the knowledge and integrity they bring to the table.  Siale has some of the leading engineers and scientists fueling the expanding development process; coupled with two of the leading minds in marketing and business solutions.

This business plan leads the way. It encompasses our vision and strategic focus: adding value to our target market segments and new power sources to the everyday consumer, as well as to the worldwide corporate powerhouses. It also provides the step-by-step plan for improving the gross margin on sales, cash management and working capital. In order to implement these changes and improve profitability, we plan to actively seek investments for up to $10,000,000  this year. This amount is in-line with the balance sheet capabilities. 

This funding will further our research and development process as we continue to seek large consumer contracts based on the renewable kinetic energy concepts Siale is developing. 
Siale was founded as a research and development company in the field of renewable energy.  Siale is pioneering new ways of harnessing kinetic energy utilizing break-through Technology merged with  Faradays Law.  At Siale we are making advancements in maintaining power supply and duration,  while implementing a constant source of renewable energy.  There is an increasing and voracious demand for renewable energy. The engineers of Siale have devised a way to meet the demands by putting an emphasis  on design, service and support to distinguish this company from short-term, profit-only oriented competitors. 

Siale is a privately-held LLC with an LP owned in majority by its Founder and President, Elizabeth Ann Capell. There are other owners and Partners that currently make up the Board of Directors at Siale. The company will include 7 initial employees, under the President and Board of Directors. Our two management divisions are Research and Development and Marketing. The Research and Development division currently handles the largest amount of Siale’s work and interest, including but not limited to, design of new technology, researching current power needs and capabilities, support, training, and development. At present, Siale’s greatest opportunity for improvement is in the area of manufacturing capabilities and marketing programs, Siale has made it a goal to license manufacturing for the first two fiscal years of our business so we can develop the strongest manufacturing plan possible.

Recent changes in the energy generation market have adversely affected our competitors but have proven to be a great advantage to Siale as we have developed a much sought after form of renewable energy. The challenges for our competitors include: demand for renewable energy, margin squeezes, longer collection periods, and lower inventory turnovers. All of these concerns are part of the general trend affecting and limiting the current companies trying to compete in the oil, electric, and power generation markets. Siale will benefit from these obstacles as our flexibility will allow us to generate substantial growth. The margin squeeze is happening throughout the energy industry worldwide.  There has not been a significant advancement in the creation of energy since World War II, but Siale is revolutionizing the development of new and renewable energy sources, which gives us the greatest competitive edge on the global market of energy production. Our research and development services, which will capture the market share, are to include such services as; research and development, marketing, upgrade offers, installation services, power configuration services, and much more. The company will seek to aggressively pursue new opportunities. 



BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND STRATEGY
The following description of our proposed development should be read in conjunction with the information included elsewhere in this Memorandum.  This description contains many forward-looking statements concerning our proposed development.  These forward-looking statements involve a high degree of risk and many uncertainties, some of which are set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”  As a result, the Partnership’s actual future results could differ significantly from the anticipated future results discussed in this Memorandum and from the Desired Returns. 

Overview of the Industry:
High oil prices, new exploration and production of new technologies, aggressive cost-reduction programs by industry and the emergence of unconventional resources contribute to the outlook for continued growth in non-fossil fuel based energy.
M. K. Hubbert (Shell Oil scientist and USGS geophysicist) used a clever calculation to incorporate economic principles. He determined the energy it takes to extract a barrel of oil and pointed out that when it takes more energy than it generates, production will cease. &quot;Hubbert&#039;s Peak&quot; is the point at which oil extraction costs increase enough to cause a decrease in oil production. Specifically, the peak will be defined as the first year in which production is lower than the previous year due to the costs of extraction. In the real world, this will be the time world oil prices rise, forcing alternative energy into the limelight.

In reality, the NYMEX oil futures market will cause oil prices to rise well in advance, making investment in alternative energy economic well before the peak.

The limitation of current alternative fuels lies not so much in the availability of renewable resources, or the technology to harness them, but the cost of doing so. Most of these technologies cost more, currently, than using fossil fuels.  

The real issue with fuel cells is that they&#039;re not as good as their proponent’s say they are. The problem with wind and solar is their reliability. The sun doesn&#039;t always shine; the wind doesn&#039;t always blow.&quot; The energy being generated from the research at Siale is constant, reliable, and renewable. 

Today’s alternative fuels have limitations in their high production costs and low yields of energy.  These sources also have high opportunity costs associated with their production.  At Siale our alternative energy products are not only manufactured with cost in mind, but the challenges of meeting escalating energy demand while minimizing waste and pollution. 

Siale’s Kinetic Energy will directly compete with the world’s 4 largest fuel sources, oil, gas, coal, and biomass. It is one of only two renewable energy sources not requiring massive government subsidy to compete with fossil fuels. Siale’s energy has application in 90% of all power generation markets, compared to a 2% maximum market share for wind and solar energies. Siale has the only immediate strategy that can radically reduce green house gas emissions at little or no capital investment costs to industry, and with huge returns based on the projected market share.

The Problem:
Recent changes in the energy generation market have adversely affected our competitors but have proven to be a great advantage to Siale as we have developed a much sought after form of renewable energy. The challenges for our competitors include: demand for renewable energy, margin squeezes, longer collection periods, and lower inventory turnovers. All of these concerns are part of the general trend affecting and limiting the current companies trying to compete in the oil, electric, and power generation markets which will , and generate Siale’s growth. The margin squeeze is happening throughout the energy industry worldwide.  There has not been a significant advancement in the creation of energy since World War II, but Siale is revolutionizing the development of new and renewable energy sources, which gives us the greatest competitive edge on the global market of energy production. 

Our Solution:
Siale is a research and design company focusing on a renewable power energy source.  This source is based on energy of motion.  What makes Siale such a powerful company s that the research engineers working for Siale have found a way to manipulate energy into a constant renewable resource at a very low cost to the consumer.  It is a highly advance technology with limitless fueling capabilities, at Siale, the scientist have come up with ground-breaking ways to manipulate Faraday’s Law and implant new kinetic energy solutions with real work applications.

Sales and Marketing Strategy:
Siale’s current market plan is simplified to be cost effective to the company’s benefit.  During the first two years of fiscal operation, Siale will remain a research and development company.  Technologies will be licensed for manufacturing and large sales contracts will be obtained through major global corporations, to support Siale’s net profit growth.  During the third year Siale will undertake a transformation and begin to expand to in house manufacturing of products we develop, giving us a greater share of the potential profits we are seeking.

Strategy for Return on Investment:
Generating strong, stable cash flow is a major focus as we strive to build our business.  Siale will maintain and enhance financial flexibility, and increase shareholder value.
Our priorities for the use of cash flow include funding innovation in our products, acquiring contracts with companies and brands to complement our existing business. Prioritization depends on which uses are expected to generate the highest shareholder returns. At Siale, we will stay active and successful on all fronts.

Siale has already started establishing major partnerships with industry leaders and fortune 500 companies that specialize in power generation.  This will help Siale grow to a $100,000,000 company within the first three years.  Market research suggests, based on the current demand for renewable energy, that, while saving the average consumer money and providing an environmentally friendly product, Siale will have the opportunity to modernize current energy usage into a new market. At Siale, the Partnership is continuing to seek large industry partners who are willing to adopt the technology for widespread use through the world

How will we produce, sell or license our ideas?:
We believe such partnerships, as stated above, will provide a substantial up-front licensing fees for exclusive use of the Technology, with ongoing royalties to be paid thereafter.  We anticipate such partners will fully fund the costs associated with the appropriate governmental approvals and will be responsible for the ongoing marketing of the technology.  While still allowing Siale to maintain full control over the patents.


DESIRED RETURNS
The following Desired Returns were developed by the General Partner and are based upon assumptions that the Partnership believes to be reasonable.  The assumptions may be incomplete or incorrect, and unanticipated events and circumstances are likely to occur.  Actual results for the periods in the projections will vary, and the variations may be material and adverse.  The Desired Returns should be reviewed in conjunction with “Risk Factors” and “Description of the Business.”

Desired Return on Investment:
The goal of the Partnership is to license rights to the Technology for approximately $500 million. We will be able to reach these goals in the following ways:
Siale currently has several companies that are currently in the process of negotiating sales contracts for Siale’s technologies.  These companies have engaged Siale with strong intentions of buying royalties of current designs.
$10,000,000:  “The Pinwheel” project - Initial contract for the market design of product. 

$200,000,000: “The Pinwheel” project – Secondary contract for the market design of product to include high density alterations and advanced characteristics. (2nd generation product.)

$160,000,000:  “The Rounder and The Shake-Up” project – Primary contract for combined technologies leading to Siale’s 3rd contract for the market design of product.

$150,000,000: “Reverse Polarization Battery” project - Market design of several of our designs to create a total package of innovative technology in the renewable energy field, completing Siale’s 4th contract.

In addition, we anticipate another $50 million in “milestone payments” to be earned as follows:  (a) $20 million upon approval by the EPA and the DOE; and (b) $30 million upon approval by United Nations Green Energy Network.
Finally, we anticipate ongoing annual royalties equal to 25% of pre-tax net revenue.

Methodology for Pricing Structure and Royalties
The need for renewable energy has been the dominate force in the current energy producing market.  Bio-mass companies have been generating about $250 million collectively  plus milestone payments (based on regulatory approvals) and royalties.  These details were widely reported in scientific journals and newsletters and through the Department of Energy since May 2001.
In contrast, Siale’s energy source can be used in several additional applications making it universal  in application.  Accordingly, since the Technology is universal and has certain provable advantages over conventional technology (i.e., durability, low cost of product, renewability and safety), we placed a value of $500 million on the rights to the Technology.  That is, an amount twice times that of other renewable energy sources (due to its multiple uses) that has been reasonably discounted to take into account certain redundant conceptual features.
Historically, new energy technology royalties can range anywhere from around 6% to 40% based on certain criteria which includes profitability, uniqueness, and exclusivity.  Siale has chosen to pursue a 25% royalty on pre-tax net revenue, representing a median percentage.
We believe these projections are achievable due to (a) historically high gross margins (as much as 34%) on these kinds of products and (b) the dramatic increase in market share and profitability the technology will bring to the licensee.


you said be persise and follow the following rules:
1. It can be an existing business or a start up. - we are considered a start up.

2. It can not be a business that generates any revenue from advertising. Why ? Because I want this to be a business where you sell something and get paid for it. That’s the only way to get and stay profitable in such a short period of time. - we don&#039;t

3. It MUST BE CASH FLOW BREAK EVEN within 60 days. - This is very possible as we have already made huge contacts within the power generation industry, as well as several marketing and merchant contacts to lease and sell the technology to.

4. It must be profitable within 90 days. - see response to number 3.

5. Funding will be on a monthly basis. If you don’t make your numbers, the funding stops - okay, and agreeable

6. You must demonstrate as part of your plan that you sell your product or service for more than what it costs you to produce, fully encumbered - this is demonstrated in the business plan in several sections including marketing and intended returns.

7. Everyone must work. The organization is completely flat. There are no employees reporting to managers. There is the founder/owners and everyone else - I am the owner and I put in as many hours if not more then everybody else.  we all work hard, but myself, and the partners are in the trenches with the team.  we operate as a team and more as a collegice  brain trust.  we have no offices but an open design floor.  

8.  You must post your business plan here, or you can post it on slideshare.com , scribd.com or google docs, all completely public for anyone to see and/or download.  I have posted the majority of the plan here.  for legal reasons i cold not post the PPM or the parts of the plan that contained propriety information.  The plan is long, however you have asked for precision.

9. I make no promises that if your business is profitable, that I will invest more money. Once you get the initial funding you are on your own - this is reasonable

10. I will make no promises that I will be available to offer help. If I want to , I will. If not, I wont. - again reasonable, see 9.

11. If you do get money, it goes into a bank that I specify, and I have the ability to watch the funds flow and the opportunity to require that I cosign any outflows.  - we have well established bank accounts, however would not argue with this point.  I would always encourage an investor to keep track of the business spending, and would welcome and encourage you as a cosigner.

12. In your business plan , make sure to specify how much equity I will receive or how I will get a return on my money. - this is specified in the business plan as well as in the above blog to you.

13. No mult-level marketing programs - we are not.

And one new rule.

14. If you contact me separately, whether via email or the contact form on the blog, your request WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. It must be posted on this blog for all to see and comment on.</description>

<p>We will retain key employees by offering competitive pay and benefits, focusing on team development, and by keeping our staff engaged in the technologies we continue to develop.</p>
<p>EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<br />
By focusing on it’s strengths, key customers, and the underlying values they need, Siale will increase research, development and trade, while improving the gross margin on sales, cash management and working capital.<br />
Siale is built on the notion that the management of technology and the desire for innovation are key goals for our business. The achievement of these goals will position us as the most influential leader in the field of renewable energy.<br />
In order to accomplish our objectives, the keys to success over the next three years are:<br />
·	Differentiate from non-renewable energy sources and for<br />
        profit conglomerates, by offering and delivering new,<br />
        renewable, environmentally friendly energy, service and<br />
        support – and charging for it.<br />
●	Increase gross margin to more than 30%.<br />
●	Increase our energy supply and modular power hardware<br />
        sales to 100% of possible manufacturing by the third<br />
        year. </p>
<p>“Green Energy” or renewable energy is the fastest growing segment of the power, energy, and fuel market.  The growth potential for such a resource is limitless.  Siale has positioned itself to be a leader in this industry and take full advantage of the constant demand for change and the demand for a cleaner source of stable and reliable energy. </p>
<p>Siale is complimented by the amazing working relationships of the partners and the knowledge and integrity they bring to the table.  Siale has some of the leading engineers and scientists fueling the expanding development process; coupled with two of the leading minds in marketing and business solutions.</p>
<p>This business plan leads the way. It encompasses our vision and strategic focus: adding value to our target market segments and new power sources to the everyday consumer, as well as to the worldwide corporate powerhouses. It also provides the step-by-step plan for improving the gross margin on sales, cash management and working capital. In order to implement these changes and improve profitability, we plan to actively seek investments for up to $10,000,000  this year. This amount is in-line with the balance sheet capabilities. </p>
<p>This funding will further our research and development process as we continue to seek large consumer contracts based on the renewable kinetic energy concepts Siale is developing.<br />
Siale was founded as a research and development company in the field of renewable energy.  Siale is pioneering new ways of harnessing kinetic energy utilizing break-through Technology merged with  Faradays Law.  At Siale we are making advancements in maintaining power supply and duration,  while implementing a constant source of renewable energy.  There is an increasing and voracious demand for renewable energy. The engineers of Siale have devised a way to meet the demands by putting an emphasis  on design, service and support to distinguish this company from short-term, profit-only oriented competitors. </p>
<p>Siale is a privately-held LLC with an LP owned in majority by its Founder and President, Elizabeth Ann Capell. There are other owners and Partners that currently make up the Board of Directors at Siale. The company will include 7 initial employees, under the President and Board of Directors. Our two management divisions are Research and Development and Marketing. The Research and Development division currently handles the largest amount of Siale’s work and interest, including but not limited to, design of new technology, researching current power needs and capabilities, support, training, and development. At present, Siale’s greatest opportunity for improvement is in the area of manufacturing capabilities and marketing programs, Siale has made it a goal to license manufacturing for the first two fiscal years of our business so we can develop the strongest manufacturing plan possible.</p>
<p>Recent changes in the energy generation market have adversely affected our competitors but have proven to be a great advantage to Siale as we have developed a much sought after form of renewable energy. The challenges for our competitors include: demand for renewable energy, margin squeezes, longer collection periods, and lower inventory turnovers. All of these concerns are part of the general trend affecting and limiting the current companies trying to compete in the oil, electric, and power generation markets. Siale will benefit from these obstacles as our flexibility will allow us to generate substantial growth. The margin squeeze is happening throughout the energy industry worldwide.  There has not been a significant advancement in the creation of energy since World War II, but Siale is revolutionizing the development of new and renewable energy sources, which gives us the greatest competitive edge on the global market of energy production. Our research and development services, which will capture the market share, are to include such services as; research and development, marketing, upgrade offers, installation services, power configuration services, and much more. The company will seek to aggressively pursue new opportunities. </p>
<p>BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND STRATEGY<br />
The following description of our proposed development should be read in conjunction with the information included elsewhere in this Memorandum.  This description contains many forward-looking statements concerning our proposed development.  These forward-looking statements involve a high degree of risk and many uncertainties, some of which are set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”  As a result, the Partnership’s actual future results could differ significantly from the anticipated future results discussed in this Memorandum and from the Desired Returns. </p>
<p>Overview of the Industry:<br />
High oil prices, new exploration and production of new technologies, aggressive cost-reduction programs by industry and the emergence of unconventional resources contribute to the outlook for continued growth in non-fossil fuel based energy.<br />
M. K. Hubbert (Shell Oil scientist and USGS geophysicist) used a clever calculation to incorporate economic principles. He determined the energy it takes to extract a barrel of oil and pointed out that when it takes more energy than it generates, production will cease. &#8220;Hubbert&#8217;s Peak&#8221; is the point at which oil extraction costs increase enough to cause a decrease in oil production. Specifically, the peak will be defined as the first year in which production is lower than the previous year due to the costs of extraction. In the real world, this will be the time world oil prices rise, forcing alternative energy into the limelight.</p>
<p>In reality, the NYMEX oil futures market will cause oil prices to rise well in advance, making investment in alternative energy economic well before the peak.</p>
<p>The limitation of current alternative fuels lies not so much in the availability of renewable resources, or the technology to harness them, but the cost of doing so. Most of these technologies cost more, currently, than using fossil fuels.  </p>
<p>The real issue with fuel cells is that they&#8217;re not as good as their proponent’s say they are. The problem with wind and solar is their reliability. The sun doesn&#8217;t always shine; the wind doesn&#8217;t always blow.&#8221; The energy being generated from the research at Siale is constant, reliable, and renewable. </p>
<p>Today’s alternative fuels have limitations in their high production costs and low yields of energy.  These sources also have high opportunity costs associated with their production.  At Siale our alternative energy products are not only manufactured with cost in mind, but the challenges of meeting escalating energy demand while minimizing waste and pollution. </p>
<p>Siale’s Kinetic Energy will directly compete with the world’s 4 largest fuel sources, oil, gas, coal, and biomass. It is one of only two renewable energy sources not requiring massive government subsidy to compete with fossil fuels. Siale’s energy has application in 90% of all power generation markets, compared to a 2% maximum market share for wind and solar energies. Siale has the only immediate strategy that can radically reduce green house gas emissions at little or no capital investment costs to industry, and with huge returns based on the projected market share.</p>
<p>The Problem:<br />
Recent changes in the energy generation market have adversely affected our competitors but have proven to be a great advantage to Siale as we have developed a much sought after form of renewable energy. The challenges for our competitors include: demand for renewable energy, margin squeezes, longer collection periods, and lower inventory turnovers. All of these concerns are part of the general trend affecting and limiting the current companies trying to compete in the oil, electric, and power generation markets which will , and generate Siale’s growth. The margin squeeze is happening throughout the energy industry worldwide.  There has not been a significant advancement in the creation of energy since World War II, but Siale is revolutionizing the development of new and renewable energy sources, which gives us the greatest competitive edge on the global market of energy production. </p>
<p>Our Solution:<br />
Siale is a research and design company focusing on a renewable power energy source.  This source is based on energy of motion.  What makes Siale such a powerful company s that the research engineers working for Siale have found a way to manipulate energy into a constant renewable resource at a very low cost to the consumer.  It is a highly advance technology with limitless fueling capabilities, at Siale, the scientist have come up with ground-breaking ways to manipulate Faraday’s Law and implant new kinetic energy solutions with real work applications.</p>
<p>Sales and Marketing Strategy:<br />
Siale’s current market plan is simplified to be cost effective to the company’s benefit.  During the first two years of fiscal operation, Siale will remain a research and development company.  Technologies will be licensed for manufacturing and large sales contracts will be obtained through major global corporations, to support Siale’s net profit growth.  During the third year Siale will undertake a transformation and begin to expand to in house manufacturing of products we develop, giving us a greater share of the potential profits we are seeking.</p>
<p>Strategy for Return on Investment:<br />
Generating strong, stable cash flow is a major focus as we strive to build our business.  Siale will maintain and enhance financial flexibility, and increase shareholder value.<br />
Our priorities for the use of cash flow include funding innovation in our products, acquiring contracts with companies and brands to complement our existing business. Prioritization depends on which uses are expected to generate the highest shareholder returns. At Siale, we will stay active and successful on all fronts.</p>
<p>Siale has already started establishing major partnerships with industry leaders and fortune 500 companies that specialize in power generation.  This will help Siale grow to a $100,000,000 company within the first three years.  Market research suggests, based on the current demand for renewable energy, that, while saving the average consumer money and providing an environmentally friendly product, Siale will have the opportunity to modernize current energy usage into a new market. At Siale, the Partnership is continuing to seek large industry partners who are willing to adopt the technology for widespread use through the world</p>
<p>How will we produce, sell or license our ideas?:<br />
We believe such partnerships, as stated above, will provide a substantial up-front licensing fees for exclusive use of the Technology, with ongoing royalties to be paid thereafter.  We anticipate such partners will fully fund the costs associated with the appropriate governmental approvals and will be responsible for the ongoing marketing of the technology.  While still allowing Siale to maintain full control over the patents.</p>
<p>DESIRED RETURNS<br />
The following Desired Returns were developed by the General Partner and are based upon assumptions that the Partnership believes to be reasonable.  The assumptions may be incomplete or incorrect, and unanticipated events and circumstances are likely to occur.  Actual results for the periods in the projections will vary, and the variations may be material and adverse.  The Desired Returns should be reviewed in conjunction with “Risk Factors” and “Description of the Business.”</p>
<p>Desired Return on Investment:<br />
The goal of the Partnership is to license rights to the Technology for approximately $500 million. We will be able to reach these goals in the following ways:<br />
Siale currently has several companies that are currently in the process of negotiating sales contracts for Siale’s technologies.  These companies have engaged Siale with strong intentions of buying royalties of current designs.<br />
$10,000,000:  “The Pinwheel” project &#8211; Initial contract for the market design of product. </p>
<p>$200,000,000: “The Pinwheel” project – Secondary contract for the market design of product to include high density alterations and advanced characteristics. (2nd generation product.)</p>
<p>$160,000,000:  “The Rounder and The Shake-Up” project – Primary contract for combined technologies leading to Siale’s 3rd contract for the market design of product.</p>
<p>$150,000,000: “Reverse Polarization Battery” project &#8211; Market design of several of our designs to create a total package of innovative technology in the renewable energy field, completing Siale’s 4th contract.</p>
<p>In addition, we anticipate another $50 million in “milestone payments” to be earned as follows:  (a) $20 million upon approval by the EPA and the DOE; and (b) $30 million upon approval by United Nations Green Energy Network.<br />
Finally, we anticipate ongoing annual royalties equal to 25% of pre-tax net revenue.</p>
<p>Methodology for Pricing Structure and Royalties<br />
The need for renewable energy has been the dominate force in the current energy producing market.  Bio-mass companies have been generating about $250 million collectively  plus milestone payments (based on regulatory approvals) and royalties.  These details were widely reported in scientific journals and newsletters and through the Department of Energy since May 2001.<br />
In contrast, Siale’s energy source can be used in several additional applications making it universal  in application.  Accordingly, since the Technology is universal and has certain provable advantages over conventional technology (i.e., durability, low cost of product, renewability and safety), we placed a value of $500 million on the rights to the Technology.  That is, an amount twice times that of other renewable energy sources (due to its multiple uses) that has been reasonably discounted to take into account certain redundant conceptual features.<br />
Historically, new energy technology royalties can range anywhere from around 6% to 40% based on certain criteria which includes profitability, uniqueness, and exclusivity.  Siale has chosen to pursue a 25% royalty on pre-tax net revenue, representing a median percentage.<br />
We believe these projections are achievable due to (a) historically high gross margins (as much as 34%) on these kinds of products and (b) the dramatic increase in market share and profitability the technology will bring to the licensee.</p>
<p>you said be persise and follow the following rules:<br />
1. It can be an existing business or a start up. &#8211; we are considered a start up.</p>
<p>2. It can not be a business that generates any revenue from advertising. Why ? Because I want this to be a business where you sell something and get paid for it. That’s the only way to get and stay profitable in such a short period of time. &#8211; we don&#8217;t</p>
<p>3. It MUST BE CASH FLOW BREAK EVEN within 60 days. &#8211; This is very possible as we have already made huge contacts within the power generation industry, as well as several marketing and merchant contacts to lease and sell the technology to.</p>
<p>4. It must be profitable within 90 days. &#8211; see response to number 3.</p>
<p>5. Funding will be on a monthly basis. If you don’t make your numbers, the funding stops &#8211; okay, and agreeable</p>
<p>6. You must demonstrate as part of your plan that you sell your product or service for more than what it costs you to produce, fully encumbered &#8211; this is demonstrated in the business plan in several sections including marketing and intended returns.</p>
<p>7. Everyone must work. The organization is completely flat. There are no employees reporting to managers. There is the founder/owners and everyone else &#8211; I am the owner and I put in as many hours if not more then everybody else.  we all work hard, but myself, and the partners are in the trenches with the team.  we operate as a team and more as a collegice  brain trust.  we have no offices but an open design floor.  </p>
<p>8.  You must post your business plan here, or you can post it on slideshare.com , scribd.com or google docs, all completely public for anyone to see and/or download.  I have posted the majority of the plan here.  for legal reasons i cold not post the PPM or the parts of the plan that contained propriety information.  The plan is long, however you have asked for precision.</p>
<p>9. I make no promises that if your business is profitable, that I will invest more money. Once you get the initial funding you are on your own &#8211; this is reasonable</p>
<p>10. I will make no promises that I will be available to offer help. If I want to , I will. If not, I wont. &#8211; again reasonable, see 9.</p>
<p>11. If you do get money, it goes into a bank that I specify, and I have the ability to watch the funds flow and the opportunity to require that I cosign any outflows.  &#8211; we have well established bank accounts, however would not argue with this point.  I would always encourage an investor to keep track of the business spending, and would welcome and encourage you as a cosigner.</p>
<p>12. In your business plan , make sure to specify how much equity I will receive or how I will get a return on my money. &#8211; this is specified in the business plan as well as in the above blog to you.</p>
<p>13. No mult-level marketing programs &#8211; we are not.</p>
<p>And one new rule.</p>
<p>14. If you contact me separately, whether via email or the contact form on the blog, your request WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. It must be posted on this blog for all to see and comment on.</p>
