To whom it may concern:
Your product looks great! Have other funding mechanisms not worked for you?
I am unsure from your description exactly what you envisage someone doing for you. However, our firm relies on a team of skilled professionals in various business fields to deliver projects. We do not believe that one person's skill level can be compared to that of a team.
We will gladly like to look at a performance- or retainer-based project with you as long as we understand the effort required and risk ratio attached. We are innovation development & commercialization specialists, so I hope you will want to communicate with me some more.
We could possibly look to assist you in other ways to raise your capital - but we would need to learn more...
I have a few simple questions for you so I understand the scope of your business challenge:
I assume your problem is that you need start-up capital to get component moulds made up and to produce enough units so that the unit price is reasonable. What is the amount that you need to raise?
How big is the world-wide annual surfboard market (in units) and what % do you believe you will be able to capture in 1 year, 3 years & 5 years?
What will the unit cost be to produce and what will each unit sell for?
Who will your clients be: the public or surfboard manufacturers?
Thank you for your consideration of REGAL 3 to assist you in this adventure.
Kind regards,
Pierre van Aswegen
CEO
