I am a Retired Service-Connected Disabled Veteran Marine, and a Senior Designer, putting businesses and products on the map. I designed Telescopes in Observatories, CNC, Robotics, etc.  And over the years, performing my own R&D, I developed a very unique product with HIGH profits. I have patents and prototype. These products where designed for the new compact and hybrid vehicles as well as the existing models. There are over a dozen products to start. The market for the pilot product is a multi-billion $ industry. Sales have exceeded one million for the last 6 years. The market is growing stronger every day. 0.1% of market equals million dollar plus profit per year. And that is just the pilot product. There are NO competitors and the products are branded to stop overseas copycats. These products are designed the way I know an American product should be built, tough, robust, NO loose parts to lose, NO tools required, but light weight and transforms in to a unit that can fit on the kichen counter. Trust me, I designed the Diemos Telescope in Kick Observatory in Hawaii. This is a multi-million $ profit per year venture, and NO BODY will stop and listen. By the way, the production line was designed to develop a fully operational facility under $500K. How and where can somebody present the goods to find a Investor/Partner. I need to find an able body to fill the GM position and take this venture where it needs to go. I am an expert in developing products and have a list to develop, including electronics, accessories, etc. This venture is the real thing, but I need to locate that Investor/Partner that would work the venture. I have searched the internet for months. Is there a hidden café or lounge??? Please help. This will also help put people to work and every product I use is manufactured in the US to help our economy.

Hey there, I am not sure if I can help you find a venture capital firm or angel investor, but I wanted to say you should check out the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences. They help fund projects like yours and try to partner manufacturers and designers like you with military end users; the group is funded by an office of the Undersecretary of Defense.
