bean-aid · 02-18-2020, 12:14 AM

Is there anyone like that still around... Looking to invest in startup ideas/businesses?

Did shap ever invest with anyone on gfy and find any success?

Diomed · 02-18-2020, 01:08 AM

No, he didn't. But he sure listened to everyone's ideas ;)

He had a yoga pants company with his wife he wa just beginning to seventies on Instagram snd that's the last I heard of him.

bean-aid · 02-18-2020, 10:06 AM

I gave him my idea as well which was just basically a model centro. Consulting controlling the billing.

I'm looking for an investor if any shap like people exist on here. Exploding market and need to get my patent pending accessory made in bulk and pre-ordered.

Supposed to be 44 billion market by 2024. Currently around 20.

Most of those types of guys just get a ton of free ideas from people and then go hire others for cheap to put it together if it's a good idea. Not saying Shap did that, but this is common.

It's a long way from idea to realization.

I’m pretty sure he has a new project, not sure if in collaboration with somebody here, but you’ll find the info on his Twitter profile

This is a common fear with entrepreneur types. They get so caught up with having their idea stolen, they don't do market research to validate their idea.. and their fear of their idea being stolen paralyzes their ability to get feedback or suggestions and then they end up doing nothing..

I call them idea guys

99.9% of the time it isn't about the idea. It's about putting in the time and work.

If you have a patent pending, share your idea. What is it?

An inexpensive way to reinforce an air mattress. Market is camping and to compete, and take over, the sleep number market.

He’s still very active, reach out to him if you think you have something worth pitching.

Beaner, would you get in touch with me at alex AT nalem DOT com, and share your Skype account there. Would like to either chat or talk with you about your product, "in general terms only", as I do not need to know the specifics. We are working on something, that could have your air mattress reinforcement material or design applied to.

I hope it works. I've spent so much money on air mattresses for camping and they seem to all fucking leak and go flat. I would just hook a strip outlet to the damn thing and hit the switch to power the pump in the middle of the night.

Preventing holes and preventing seam blow outs is certainly under the scope of invention. What I've realized is that by preventing the sides of an air mattress from expanding outwards is where the comfort is. If the mattress deforms outwards through night it causes your spine to shift, body to drop, and that causes the back pain.

Ideas are a dime a dozen. Actually being able to pull off your idea successfully is what actually requires skill.

I am setup and do make a profit because I don't pay for advertising. Every sale is immediate profit. Need to scale big time.

Camping cots are the way to go!

That's why I created this thread... get you to open up them boxes. Problem identified, problem solved, now I need an investor to get it mainstream.
