General Advice For Seeking Out A Business Partner?

Here's the deal guys, I've been anxious to push through a business proposal that has been developing in the back of my head for the past few months and I've found a niche that could very well benefit legalization efforts and stimulate internal reformation among the cannabis community overall so I'd like to take it plenty of steps further. (note I've been working on this for a good chunk of time)

The business itself isn't the main concern, as the logical thought process for completion is practical methodology; I'm more interested in figuring out how I can go about finding someone to help me push through these efforts, the best candidate would honestly be a female with physical and social appeal.

While I know plenty of women that meet some of the most critical components for viability, they all are still lacking in the area showing a genuine interest in more than just smoking bud and having the occasional talk about it, so that obviously won't cut it...any thoughts?

 

Well I guess the best way to describe it would be as a concept dealing with an online portal that builds a community around the people surfacing as members, it's more than a grass city type thing, kind of heads into CC without the same cliche content being covered, and with much more curb appeal to the general population. the ideal person would probably be educated, classy, sexy, well versed, responsible, and hard-working. It doesn't intend to discriminate, but it does thrive on specific characteristics most people like to follow which coincidentally are unimportant as far the actual topic being discussed is concerned.

 

Yes and No, it's a more vigorous set-up than that, with the user-end community being an attractive trait but not the centerfold piece that would give it the value it's seeking. The only reason I'm seeking a business partner is because the workload required to premiere the site is incredibly intense, and I figured dividing the workload would possibly shorten that time frame; it's kind of difficult to explain "her" position in all of this without throwing out the entire concept.

Start-Up money is not an issue at all, the costs are rather low, and even higher they could easily be covered. It's just that the majority of ventures that are started by individuals have a tendency to under-perform those that seek out a partner for success. Ideas, Thoughts, Expansion, etc. all take a different form when they're bounced off another person. Your comment is certainly motivating so I might just consider doing just that.

I have already. It's a 26 page executive summary, and it wasn't created for outside investors. It's a road map for success and something like a blue print for those times when things may not be at their peak. I guess a craigslist ad is possible, I was halfway through posting one yesterday, but I don't really know who looks at them and how productive it would have been. I guess I should give that a try since both of my ideas have been re-iterated in your post. Thanks buddy!

 

Those statements hardly hold-up, a target audience can very easily be reached with proper marketing strategy in a business plan, maybe not every last one, but it would be silly for you to even assume that any company doesn't evolve and expand with progress. There's a reason data analysts exist, not sure if you're aware of what their functions are in markets, but I guess you'll eventually understand. Anyway, you're entirely wrong. I have no intention of creating a social networking site for "stoners", and no intention of failing. The female is there to handle the progression behind the scenes concerning relations...it's geared towards a market that's thriving today and still for the most part remains untapped after plenty of research on my end.

No offense, but you wouldn't fit the bill. Congrats on your website and all, but your attitude is rather drab. It's a trend I've noticed on here and it's only been a couple weeks since I've joined, I don't understand why there's so much negativity and this creepy sort of passive hostility that makes my neck twist. Best of luck though, don't mean to offend, just disappointed in some members attitudes.

 

You said: "you can't reach your target market"
I said: "you are wrong...(followed by an explanation for a bit of credibility)"
It simply isn't fact, and at no point did I insult or put you down...it's okay to be wrong last I checked right?

I don't know why you're being so hostile over the simple effort of me trying to reach out to people...I'm sorry I'm not your flavor of choice, but I've been absolutely respectful to you. For the record to have a "drab" personality simply implies that you're uninterested, the spark was indeed lacking on your end correct me if I'm wrong...cause it's definitely something you mentioned yourself. No one is trying to corner you, you can settle down.

EDIT: The reason I'd prefer a female is because the circumstances future cooperates would be placed in would favor the attention of a female as far as issues are concerned that may or may not influence those working as "cooperates".

 

That's exactly the misunderstanding lol...I was more than clear, I introduced what it is that I'm doing. It has little to do with my question, my questions was asking for advice on how to seek out a business partner...simple as that sheesh.

One person mentioned craigslist, someone else suggested I go at it alone..but all are suggestions surrounding the topic, whether I want to lace every blunt you smoke with cocaine or if I want to raid every grow-op in this country is slightly irrelevant. She simply has to be a female with curb appeal and profound knowledge on the topics of cannabis. Other than that, I'm curious to know where it is I can find her...church retreat, strip clubs, norml chapter meetings, sex addicts meeting, anything haha I just don't see why it is that I have to "spit it out", I think you're the one missing the point.
