Month: November 2018

My company, InOrbis Intercity, is doing a capital raise. We’ve been operating profitably for nearly two years now and we’re growing at a steady 10-20% per month. It’s exciting, to say the least, but this is the first time I’ve raised outside money. I have read book after book on Venture Capital, Angel Investment, Private Equity, and even raising money via an ICO (Initial Coin Offering). I have pitched our company several times, but the interest has been limited in this neck of the woods (Alberta, Canada). I think it’s time to start investigating alternative funding sources.

I know this business can be a billion dollar company, but we need to build scalable software to allow us to operate in more markets. We have developers, but we need more, and we need to hire some of the best in the business to work on our team. We’re building something great, applying AI to make intercity travel a better experience for millions of people. 

Raising money is a battle, only about 0.01% of companies actually manage to raise the funds for a billion-dollar valuation. There are hundreds of unreported examples where companies raise multiple-millions, the company grows and is sold for tens of millions but the founders are left with nothing.

It is a monumental risk, to be sure, but at this point, it seems like the best option we have available to grow the business.

If you’re interested in being part of something special, the future of autonomous, sustainable, intercity transportation, and you are a passionate, intelligent developer, or software engineer, willing to risk it all on a moonshot (I know, there must be at least one or two out there), send me a message and we’ll meet for coffee.

On the flip side, if you’re an Angel or VC and you’d like to learn more, drop us a line. I’d be happy to pull out our pitch deck and wow you with this vision. We will make it happen, but your help could make it a reality that much sooner.

Cheers,

Rosario
