Good ideas are welcome. I have a day job which I still want to keep but not for too long. What biz can I start with 5 million. As I will not be running it full time it should be something that does not need daily supervision.

Very happy with an idea relating to merchandising or distribution.

I am also willing to offer venture capital for someone with a killer idea looking for partner/capital

[quote=Cornelius Vanderbilt]go big on these ideas

@Cornelious,
I had asked you on that thread which ideas in that list you were involved in? What is the answer?

Tenderpreneurship.If you need more info, contact me.

We need to link up? What's your expected rate of return?

whats your expected rate of return?

@Sparkly, thanks for the word of caution, I am very aware of this. I am not looking to give some lucky guy my money to piss off. Venture capital is alive in Kenya and working for people. I will carry out my due diligence.

Alternatively, I am looking for an idea I can buy thats practicable and comes with a contract, around distribution of FCMGs, liquor etc. I am sure many wazuans work in companies that need heavy investing distributors

@Horton, Not keen on property or shares, thats the plan B if a good idea not found.

@Mawinder, I don't understand tenderprenuership so cannot indulge but I am tempted to contact you for a chat

Not thinking of rate of return at this point, just sustainable, however, my expectation is that as it carries higher risk than real estate, the returns should be higher.

Horton, Na sio pyramid? I am also interested... Dropping mail pap...

That's the idea I have. Unfortunately, we can't start big, it's riskier. The money can only work in the future and not anytime now.

Hi Obi 1,

Would it be of interest in you partnering up (essentially as an early stage/ growth capital participant) as we bring a maturing international brand (original market is the US. Europe & Middle East distribution already taken up; we are offering their route- to- market in Africa via a distributorship license) starting with the East African market?

Our research shows the brand lacks a comprehensive Sub- Saharan presence as well, indicating a greater growth opportunity.

Being first & fast to market with their line of innovative products, and as a great value add to our indigenous Kenyan brand (2015 has seen us gain good traction) offers a strong edge in revolutionizing our product offering to our target market (essentially urban consumers).

The sector in focus is Food Manufacturing/ Services extending to the Hospitality industry as well. In line with Sparkly's comments, your own knowledge base in your area of expertise, in combination with ours of this industry, would be essential to the opportunity's growth.

As we are beyond the idea stage & coming to the close of our second year in operation,we have adopted a revamped 3- year strategy in which we look to roll-out the highlighted brand as part of our portfolio.

If this may interest you, kindly let me know how I may contact you directly with a detailed overview of the opportunity.

Thank you.
