Meet Shaeed Bailey: Building A Startup To Help Startups

I met a wonderful young entrepreneur today on LinkedIN. Shaeed Bailey. I'd like for you to meet him too. 

Shaeed, is building a startup named Investoshare. It is an equity based crowd funding platform that connects entrepreneurs with Angel Investors. As a startup builder myself, I do know how us struggling entrepreneurs need capital. We need it bad! I like what Shaeed is doing. His heart is genuine. He wants to help others. He wants to help people like you, and I.

Most entrepreneurs put all the cash they have into their startups, because they so believe in their ideas. I did. When your startup rolls along on the cash you have, that cash gets burned up. Then there you are standing, holding your dreams, all the work, everything you have built up until this point, and you wonder. Is this the end of the road? Does it all end when the money runs out? Is the dream over? Is your idea toast? This has happened to me. 

I am facing a terrible fear. It's all over. No developing products to help people, everything I've been working on is OVER. As if it got burned down in a fire. I can't let my startup die because their is no money, can I. No, I won't.

According to Grant Cardone There is plenty of money out there. With all these crowd funding sites there are also plenty of people seeking. And there are plenty of people who have money to invest in you.  

I have read all about how finding capital for your startup is a full time job all by itself. You almost can't work on your startup, cause you have to spend all your time to save it's life. I am hoping that Shaeed will get to see his idea to build his startup Investoshare. I'm also hoping that it won't be a full time job for me just to seek and obtain funding, as I'd really like to build my gifts for humanity. 

Check out Shaeed's story here on Tumblur, follow him on Twitter @shabai22, and if you are feeling generous, donate to his fund raiser on GoFundMe

My New Mantra when you are seeking funding: NEVER BACK DOWN! I learned a hard lesson from a mystery investor I met on WhisperApp. To you Mr. "at Guy" I thank you. I won't forget that lesson ; - ) ever.
