Obviously there would be a legitimate identity confirmation on both parties ends.

Do you mean that you don't think we would be able to raise this kind of money other than through an IPO or do you mean that you don't believe we will be able to convince any investor to come on board without first having an IPO to prove legitimacy?


Both really. He will be competition initially, but the fact that he has already acquired so many entities and publicly plans to spend upwards of another $500,000,000 is a huge part of this strategy. Never in the history of music festivals has there been an opportunity like this to basically pump and dump the most ideal strategic brand for a specific buyer. This is why the opportunity is there for such a high ROI.

Bitcoin investors are not our only target, or even our main target. We are pursuing all options at this point and having been clued into the Bitcoin industry over several years by a deeply involved friend of mine, I saw it as a space where investors of both Bitcoin and fiat currency would congregate.

Having a main investor or small group of investors (regardless of the currency form) is our main goal, however I have begun looking into the possibility of the second option that you suggested. One of the main problems I feel like we would face would be that we could not really file for IPO, as parts of our business plan are confidential. Any advice for the right direction in this regard would be appreciated and I will continue to do research on it.


We are currently in contact with several investors in the real world as well, however since we are looking to move forward with the expansion as soon as is realistically possible we are pursuing all available options.


How to make y'all believe that I am who I say I am? Well the first step moving forward with any potentially interested investor would be to confirm both of our identities via a video conference with government issued photo identification. This is for both of our security. After that I will send them a mutual NDA for both of us to sign, and after that the rest of the full business proposal and financials.
That would prove my actual name identity, and as far as my involvement in the festival I would be glad to message you on Facebook directly from the Lunar Massive official Facebook page as linked above, or have my partners at EDMutual or Flashpoint message you from their pages as well.
There are numerous simple ways for us to overcome this on a case by case basis.


No, those are our predictions for the rest of 2014. We predict having more requests for refunds the first year of sales as the brand builds, and fewer requests over time as the brand gains traction. All of the numbers in the financials are made to represent our theoretical "worst case scenario".
The expenses are padded and listed as more expensive than we anticipate, and the profits are conservatively listed compared to what we anticipate. Also there is much room for growth beyond what we are safely "anticipate" should the demand be higher, which we would not be surprised if it was.
The number one selling recurring EDM event in Atlanta right now has thrown 13 events basically monthly and is on their 14th. Somewhere between 4 and 6 thousand people attend and it is thrown in a bowling alley / activities place in a pretty ghetto unsafe area. Peoples cars were broken into and some were actually stolen from the parking lot at the 7th event. There is very minimal production generally and the main stage area has basketball hoops raised up against the ceiling like a high school gymnasium. Look up Kingdom Rave.

The amount of people who would come out for an actual quality recurring event in Atlanta for almost the same ticket price will be ridiculous.

The next festival will either be on the same date this year in November or early in the spring of 2015. We are in the planning stages right now and will either begin shortly on the November festival with a smaller budget or hold off until we have our full investment and save the next festival for early 2015. Ideally we would like to secure the investment as soon as possible and begin the expansion immediately for November of this year.

The vast majority of the profits from each festival will stay in the company and be used to further its growth. If having a percentage of profit from each event is a make or break thing for an investor we may reconsider and offer other options, but for now the plan is to just offer profits at the time the company is sold.

As far as more identification, I will make a video tonight of myself and display my photo identification and post it here.
If anyone inquiring uses Facebook I will gladly message them from the official festival Facebook page as I said earlier to confirm my involvement, as well as have my partners message them from their Facebooks (which are well publicized partners of the event).


I am glad to answer and discuss legitimate questions and ideas such as these, thank you for your positive involvement so far.

Will do, thanks.
They moved this over from the lending forum when I had one in long term lending already.

Thank you, this is all I have been trying to say.

You're definitely right though, this particular 40 page document isn't a 5 year olds story as NotLambChop implied, but a very well strategized and presented business plan.

I wish more people on this forum would realize the logic in your point on judging. :/

Important - this is a self-moderated topic. While I welcome any and all productive and inquisitive conversation and will more than willingly answer any questions asked, I will not allow it to be derailed by senseless trolling and flaming. If all you have to say is to scoff at my claims of an ROI of 5900% and say that this is impossible/scam/etc, please move on because I will delete your post.
If you have any legitimate questions regarding the plan that are not answered below, feel free to post them and unless they are among the confidential pieces (which aren't too many) I will answer them to the best of my ability. If you would like to view the full 40 page investment deck and 20 page 5 year financial plan, which will clear up the majority of questions, message me or email me at lunarmassive2014@gmail.com. After confirming your identity and getting a mutual NDA signed I will send it over for review.
I am looking for a particular kind of investor for a fiat endeavor. I know there are many of them in this space because I have had contact with a few and spoken with several other people on this forum since my first post to get a little insight to this forum. This plan will not be for most people, but it will be perfect for some.
Looking forward to having a legitimate business discussion this time around.

Lunar Massive is an established music festival thrown in Atlanta November 15, 2013. Over 3,000 people attended the inaugural event and all had a glowing experience.

http://i.imgur.com/8eE4sUL.png

My name is Drew Horne and I am one of the partners on the festival and the initial organizer.
 
My partners are the owners of the company EDMutual LLC
https://www.facebook.com/EDMutual

and the CEO of Flashpoint Agency
http://flashpointagency.com/
https://www.facebook.com/FlashpointAgency/info

I will gladly message you on Facebook directly from the official Lunar Massive Facebook page as proof of my direct involvement with the project.

Our talent buyer has had long-lasting close relationships with all of the major talent agencies, some for greater than 10 years. We can book just about any artist available.

We are in the market for an investor or small group of investors to allow us to expand our brand over 5 years to ultimately sell it for $250,000,000. I have a 40 page detailed investment deck explaining our partially confidential strategy and 20 pages of financials detailing the entirety of the 5 year plan. Proof of identification and the signing of a mutual NDA is required before the full business plan and financials are shared and discussed. We are looking for approximately $1.25 million USD in exchange for 30% equity.

The net return upon selling the brand would be approximately $75,000,000 USD for the investor, hence ROI of 5900%.

Here are 2 shots from our financials, the projected income statement for 2014 and for 2018. The numbers used in the calculation of these income statements and the financials as a whole are extremely conservative. We fully anticipate being able to acquire every cost for less than is allotted as well as turn a larger profit than is calculated. We wish for there to be no negative surprises for the investor.

TL,DR; - Make a huge return on your investment (ROI of 5900%) and, if you wish to have direct involvement, have an incredible amount of fun and learn a new industry along the way.
-EDM festival industry is worth $20 billion per year
-They have been exploding in the USA starting in Miami and California several years ago but are progressing across the United States
-There is a great opportunity to get in early in Atlanta, an unsaturated market full of potential that is blowing up
-SFX entertainment has stated that they are building a $1 billion empire and have already spent ~$500 million buying different EDM related brands all over the country in the last year for anywhere from $15-$100 million USD.
-We have a marketing strategy to build the ideal brand for the person/company who is buying based on their goals.

Supporting information and details you should know about the opportunity in this industry -

I’m not sure how many of you are interested in music festivals, but I’m sure that there are at least a few of you.
Even those unfamiliar with the market have probably heard of festivals such as Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival, Bonnaroo, etc. These festivals have been around for years, but with the upheaval of interest in music festivals in America (particularly electronic music festivals and jam bands), these festivals are now HUGE revenue producers. Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas drew 320,000 people over three days this year, who collectively had an economic impact of $278 million on Clark County (Vegas). This EDM festival demographic loves to spend money and is fraught with disposable income. Cities that used to look down on “raves” as some sort of culturally deficit party scene now welcome events with open arms and wallow in the profits generated from having one in their city. As a whole, the EDM festival industry is worth approximately $20 BILLION per year. According to the International Music Summer (IMS) Consumer Report 2012, EDM is the fastest growing mainstream genre in the United States. Since that report in 2012, it has done nothing but continue to skyrocket.
All this being said, with all of the people in attendance and all of the social media activity in the industry (the highest level of social media activity in any genre of live music) all of a sudden there is an enormous potential for brand exposure. Corporations like Coca-Cola, Monster, Toyota and tons more are chomping at the bit to sponsor festivals with upwards of a million dollars to have their brands plastered all over the copious amounts of marketing done by these festivals.

“What the stats tell us is that this market is still considered untapped and there is plenty of room out there for new brands and mass expansion over the next decade because EDM is here to stay. The key is to start small and build a brand through innovative marketing tactics and create and experience that will turn your followers into raging fans. The Brands that can do that and have the capital to sustain in the marketplace will have loyalty for years to come.” - Huffington Post

Here’s the kicker -
There is a media mogul named Robert Sillerman, owner of SFX Entertainment, who launched the concert company that became Live Nation (one of the current largest forces in the live music industry). In 2005 Robert Sillerman ranked 375 on the Forbes 400 list with a personal net worth of $975 million.
After his review of the industry over the last 10+ years of involvement, Sillerman is placing a $1 billion dollar bet on EDM festivals. These are basically his relevant thoughts on the matter -
-out of the worlds population of 7 billion, 3.6 billion are under the age of 30, and 2 billion are millennials.
-Electronic Music is indisputably the music of choice for the 18-34 year old demographic mentioned above
-The “Electronic Music Culture”, as he calls it, is more digitally plugged in and more reliably marketed to in a modern sense than any other genre
-The industry is currently very fragmented, and was much more fragmented just a few years ago
-If he was able to unite much of the industry under one brand, he would effectively control the marketing ability to 18-34 year olds with disposable income, an ability worth a tremendous amount of money to corporations that are looking to market their product to this demographic (of which there are a vast amount)
-He publicly announced that SFX plans to spend upwards of $1 billion on acquisitions of EDM related companies that unite this demographic within a year. He began with Disco Donnie Productions, a Louisiana-based promoter that stages events throughout the U.S.

Here is a list of his recent most noteworthy EMC related acquisitions -
-Disco Donnie Presents - $50,000,000 - 100% ownership
-ID&T (Tomorroworld/Tomorrowland) - $100,000,000 - 75% ownership
-Dayglow - $35,000,000 - 100% ownership
-Beatport - $52,000,000 - 100% ownership
-MMG - $16,900,000 - 80% ownership
-Totem Onelove - $75,000,0000 - 100% ownership
-i-Motion - $12,000,000 - 70% ownership
-Paylogic - $16,200,000 - 75% ownership

Grand total - $357,100,000

The marketing talent we have on this team is second to none. Flashpoint Agency has experience building brands all over the world to internationally recognizable levels. EDMutual is weeks away from publicly releasing the worlds first music festival social media app, which will change the festival game as we know it. They also have pioneered a unique way of running specifically targeted Facebook advertisements for maximum organic impact. They have been fine tuning these methods while throwing almost monthly shows in New Orleans successfully for almost a year. Their Facebook, linked at the top, shows which shows and the level that they were promoted. Also on their Facebook are aftermovies for many of the recent shows they have thrown in the last 6 months or so. They have been having much success in their new market
After meeting this spectacularly talented team we put together Lunar Massive in Atlanta in a very short period of time, and threw a brand launching show that we expected to lose money on. The effect gained from the value we were able to deliver to our fans was spectacular, everyone in attendance said that it was the best EDM event in Atlanta they had ever been to with the exception of 2 major festivals that currently much larger than we are with a far larger budget, though that will be changing very soon.
In 1.5 months of marketing we grew our Facebook page to 9,500 likes with an average unboosted reach of 2,300 people per post, 100% organically. Anyone who has done any sort of Facebook marketing knows that that is an incredible feat.
We tracked all of our social media marketing and through are reports are able to prove that we made over 2.5 million UNIQUE social media impressions in that month and a half. Corporate sponsorships will be a given once we have a lineup booked and begin marketing.

The marketing strategies we have in place for this festival are very unique and borderline foolproof. We will grow this festival to be of acquisition size within 5 years and sell it for upwards of $250,000,000 to Robert Sillerman or a competitor of his as the most valuable uniting factor of the Electronic Music Culture that the industry has seen to date.

I have a feeling that there are some newfound millionaires here who aren’t sure of what the next move is beyond the cryptocurrency world. I’ve no doubt that there are also some very educated and business savvy experienced professionals here as well.
The reason I come to this community looking for a partner is because I understand the cryptocurrency community well enough to know that its successful members are incredibly forward-thinking, and I feel like you will understand how great of a decision this could be for you down the road.

If you are seriously interested, please contact me at lunarmassive2014@gmail.com and I will send you over a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Upon agreeing to confidentiality I will send you the 40 page investment deck with many more details of the project. Then I’ll send you over our 20 page financial 5-year plan, and if everything comes together well we can press forward.

Keep being forward thinking guys, the world needs more thinkers like you.

After the length of time that has passed since the creation of this post, our business strategy has grown and developed substantially. If the moderators could remove this post so that I may make a new one of greater relevancy I would appreciate it!

Thanks

I definitely understand that, my problem is that without seeing my business plan I don't see how it could be constructively vetted. In my next approach I will try to make it more succinct and professional and hopefully just have a reasonable business conversation. As a few key facets of the plan are confidential (which I understand has been used as a bogus "excuse" in the past here), it makes it more difficult to have an open conversation about the entire plan. I'm not looking for an IPO though, moreso a few key investors, so this plan won't just be offered into the publics hands for debate.
I will post what I can, and ideally the way I would like for it to happen (let me know if this is possible in a forum setting, I'm not really that much of a forum junkie) is to have a thread with the basis of the idea as much information as I feel comfortable sharing with the public in a self modded setting, and then a separate thread that would be invite only for private viewing. I could use the private thread to invite only the people who have signed the NDA and seen the entire business plan so that we could have an in-depth conversation regarding the intricacies of it, and use the initial public thread as merely the gateway to link interested parties to it.
The only problem I see with this is that I have only had one person sign the NDA thus far and check the plan out. I think it is mostly due to the way this thread has, as jimmothy so eloquently stated, "gone to shit".
So hopefully in a self modded, non-derailed setting, I can have a legitimate enough conversation with interested parties that I can have a little more valid participation.

Let me know if that seems like something that would work here.


Yeah sorry that is more specifically what happened, SFX owns 75% of the ID&T company, but the original owners of Tomorrowland bought back the rights to Tomorrowland itself.
ID&T throws many other shows though like Mysteryland etc all through Europe, and the primary reason for the acquisition of the company was to have the rights to bring the Tomorrowland and Mysteryland brands to America to exploit the exploding festival scene that is going on. Tomorrowland was their baby though and they didn't want to risk anything happen to it. Sorry to have worried you


I wouldn't go so far as absurd, it was not as professional of an initial outreach as I could have done, and that is my fault for not investigating my target audience as much as I should have. I assumed there were members of all kinds of this forum (which I'm sure there are, the active ones are more of a professional-demanding mold though) so my pitch was more catered to appealing to everyone who might view it.
Trust me when I say that 5000% is not an outlandish amount though. I would be more than glad to explain why, but to see all of the details I will have to ask you to sign a mutual NDA.

I will be making another post in the near future that I hope can please everyone and start some forward progress. I sense that there is some interest but having heard of all of the scamming that has gone on in the recent past I understand why there is a lot of skepticism.
Looking forward to speaking with everyone again soon.

great idea, thanks!
i'll get on that soon
i have had a bit of constructive input from a few sr members via private message, ill implement all of it in my second approach and self mod to delete these mindless ignorant posts

thanks!

I'm glad that you guys have simple enough lives to take time out of your days purely to bash a plan that you know nothing about. The Internet is a great place for people like you to relieve pent-up angst.

I'm looking for an investor who knows enough about the industry to realize that this is the prime moment to break the mold, as large corporations are acquiring festival brands left and right for 100 million dollars. Our plan is centered around creating the optimum brand for selling based on the buyers strategic goals.

I am not looking to bandy words with people such as yourselves who seem to be only seeking conflict. Go do something constructive.
If you aren't interested or have something constructive to say, kindly carry on. I will continue to look for the curious, outside the box thinker that I know is here somewhere, then I'll go over my business plan with them and go forward from there.

Fortunes aren't made by shooting down ideas before you have a clue what they are. They're made by considering the potential of things and getting in early. (Cough bitcoin)
I thought people would be more open minded here given the mindset behind being an early adopter, apparently it's just as full of trolls as the rest of the Internet.

Thanks for the vouch thehun

I promise that any interested parties will not be disappointed with the plan we have put together. If you're curious but skeptical, check the plan out. It will clear your doubts.

You're right, the title of the thread was and is inaccurate. I will change it to be more suitably reflective of the idea.

We don't plan on overnight, we plan on 5 years.
It may sound silly when you know nothing about the industry, but the fact is that there are a couple of companies out there who are hell bent on acquiring every EDM brand they can for the purpose of uniting a hard to reach demographic (digitally plugged in 18-34 year olds with disposable income) and have already purchased many brands in the past year or two for 10-100 million.
So with out unique approach to build the perfect brand to cater to their goals, it is more than possible that we will be able to sell the brand ultimately for $250M.

If you don't know anything about this industry I will be more than happy to fill you in, but please don't senselessly bash my ideas without having a clue what our plan is. I assure you that this isn't just wishful thinking.

Thanks for the vouch thehun

Anyone else interested in these levels of returns please do not hesitate to contact me through private message

Very good point toastee. Our guy, however, has had relationships with all of the major agents at William Morris, AM Only, Circle, SPIN, Bullitt, Windish, etc for a very long time, some over 10 years.
The show we have already thrown included New World Punx (Ferry Corsten and Markus Schulz collaboration) 2nd performance in America. Our guy booked this act as well as the majority of the other headliners, has a personal relationship with Joel Zimmerman (Deadmau5) and can book just about any artist on the planet.


I really don't understand how some people have TIME to be so pointlessly hostile on this forum. It is simple - If you aren't interested or you think this is foolish, don't respond. If someone has interest, they can send me a private message or an email at that email address and we can work from there. I am not publicly broadcasting my business plan due to its unique nature meant to take advantage of the market.
If I were willing to publicly broadcast my business plan, that's when you should be skeptical because doing the same thing as everyone else right now is not how you are going to be successful enough to promise such a ludicrous return.
So back to the point - If you are interested, please contact me and we can discuss more details. If you are simply here to flame, please move on.

Admins - if this thread is in the wrong place please let me know and I am more than willing to move it to where it needs to be.
