We are an early stage e-commerce company that offers the world's largest selection of wildlife merchandise. We are ready to obtain our first round of financing. We would like to have 5 co-branding partners who would receive equity positions in our company. We would incorporate their logo throughout our site and include their PR materials with each order shipped. Target partners would include the utility and energy companies. Since your company is active in this market, you may know of someone who can assist us. We see utility/energy companies as a compatable fit because of their interest in projecting a positive wildlife/environmental image. About our company: WildlifeCollectibles.Com is a specialty catalog company featuring wildlife merchandise. We have the world's largest selection of wildlife merchandise. Currently in the wildlife merchandise niche there are no entities offering broad merchandise selections for each animal specie. We are filling this void by operating 22 "sub-niche" stores under the WildlifeCollectibles.Com brand. These 22 storefronts will represent 105 wildlife species. Seven of these storefronts are operational and the backend inventory systems are complete for the other 15. We are in the process of loading them on the Internet. One major component not yet installed on our site is our "Facts About the Specie" page. We will have reference information available for every wildlife specie listed on our site. At present, there is no central repository of reference material available for most species. Britanica.com has reference information available for only 11 species. This will attract school age children with their parents tagging along. We are looking for a total of 5 million dollars. In order to assist companies in purchasing an equity position/co-branded arrangement with us, we are willing to finance their investment. We will take $25,000.00 a month for 40 months from 5 corporate partners. This will allow them to budget the expense through Public Relations or Marketing. I hope I have given you enough information to understand what we would like to do, so you can either assist us or point us in the right direction. We would pay a commission and provide a small equity stake in our company to the individual who signs on the utility/energy companies for us.
