Description: We are a two-year old interactive media company blending traditional print publication intimacy with the benefits of online technological advances and social networking. The result is the best of both worlds - an engaging, entertaining, and enlightening experience for the reader that goes beyond the printed page to embedded video, audio, and other interactive capabilities, while offering advertisers a more direct route to these readers. Throw in some solid community involvement and non-profit support (over $15,000 in 2009) and we have a winning combination that could use an extra push. Our mission is very formula driven so that it can be used across other platforms and with other titles under development that are both niche and wider in scope. We are looking for working capital/investment to bring us to the next level - expenditures would include technological updates to allow us to harness the new media platforms available (iPad, etc...) and increased marketing awareness and creating a more solid sales force. This is the future of publishing, be a part of it! This is not a quick-exit ROI opportunity, we are looking for a long term commitment. However, this is a for-profit enterprise, so making a profit is a core part of our financial plan. Full financials available for 18 and 24 months. Samples (in print and online) are available to serious inquiries only. Several tiers of investment available. Minimum sought is $50,000. Thank you for your time
