Test Track is now open for PRIVATE pitches - Read this important message
January 4, 2010 by Rick Latona
We’ve been processing a lot of applications for Test Track, our innovative platform for getting entrepreneurs in front of experienced investors.
One common question and concern is that many entrepreneurs don’t want to pitch their business plans in front of a live audience.
Because of this, we are going to open up submissions for private meetings. The most important thing we are trying to do is get these entrepreneurs funded so their businesses can survive and thrive. The entertainment aspect of the live audience presentations is important but actually doing business and transactions is more important.
Please don’t misread this announcement. Test Track is still Main Event 2 at TRAFFIC events and will happen in front of a live audience. We are just adding a private showing session that won’t be public.
If you have a GREAT domain you want to develop but don’t have the cash or a great business idea and need the funds, let us know. We are here to help you.
Use the same Test Track submission form, just indicate in your text that you want a private showing.
Hopefully this will bring out you folks that have been holding back due to the sensitive nature of your business plans.
When my eyes heal (surgery) I think I will make the effort to attend the next one — when I can SEE to travel… and get up my courage
to put myself of Exhibition at the Airport (see through your clothes machine — eeeeeK)… Maybe… I should Strap-Something-On.com for the FUN of it…. Cackle…. Cackle…. Cackle….
This Investor DB access is of interest to me for several
projects…
I think the first one will be to ReDo PizzaMap.com
and take it Global and add some features and
a locational pizza db — among other things…
Thanks for putting together USEFUL additions to
the standard domain auctions events…
Have a wonderful 2010…
I already am.. it’s AMAZING…whats been happening
in my world the past 11 months… I hope I don’t
jinx myself by voicing my happiness… (smile)

I actually think pitching up in front of “investors” isn’t the right thing for webdevelopers unless they have something of value that ensures their IP is protected, a good high value domain goes some way along the path.
Perhaps something along the lines of investors that exist that will buy into developments once they have proved on a proof of concept.
Most developers would be interested to see what capital markets exist for developments and what they need to achieve so they can have a fair exchange and business dealings.
