Funding Universe – Do you want free money?

Pin It

I just heard of a really cool idea from Funding Universe.  They will be holding an American Idol type contest in which they decide who is worthy of their money.  The idea is that people come and present their investment ideas, and the winner gets money to implement their ideas.  Angel investors will help the genius push their dream forward.  Interested in attending?  Check it out:

  • May 26
  • 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
  • The Marriott – The Buttes Resort (in the Amphitheater room)

  1. Of course we all want free money – and I want to thank you for the information.

    Pretty good idea and a way for people to get investment in their ideas.

    I missed this opportunity. My mother in law would have been very excited by the prospect of this.

  4. I would love free money, but the truth is no matter how hard I try to get it I never can. The people who seem to always get the free money are the ones who need it the least. Why is that?

  5. Free money, can it ever really be free? Surely, there has to be a catch to this somewhere.

    I’m wondering how this would be pulled off American Idol style. I’m assuming that Funding Universe are the ones to vote and the vote is not left up to the audience. Anyway, it sounds like a fun promotion.

  7. It’s like an opportunity to be a contestant on “The Shark” but instead of floating an idea for a new product, you get the float an idea for investment strategy.

    Free money sounds good!!! May the most genius investor win the prize…

  10. I know a friend who used this service. Solid stuff. Doesn’t work well for ‘big time’ type projects – they generally only manage investing on smaller projects. Still it is worth pursuing if you need funding.
