My name is Ben Furtado and I am the founder of Phides. I am currently an accounting major, minor in finance at the University of Central Florida. I am seeking funding and possible partnership. Manta is the first place I've begun to search but I will be tapping into all available resources. Phides mission is to enhance the lives of anyone who deserves it. This is done by supplying a simple tool to educate our customers, provide investing ideas, advise, and give opportunity for subscribers to raise capital to invest. Expenses will be minimal and efficiency will be maximized by a mobile presence and online birth. Phides will always remain trustworthy, honest, and transparent. Phides supplies investors with the best value learning experience and tools to succeed. Phides strives to eliminate any reason, logically, financially, or emotionally not to become a member. I have created a business plan, cash flow statements, budgets, projections, and more. I am looking to launch by next fall which means the app development needs to begin. This is the most expensive start up cost which is why it is crucial I find investors immediately. I am very open to ideas and respect people with experience. I have no issue with partnerships with qualified investors who respect my vision. I have yet to legally incorporate or set up a website though the gears are in motion. This is a truly fascinating and exciting business. The more research on the market and competition I do, the more encouraging it becomes. There is nothing like it offered in America and the only similarly structured applications over seas do not offer the very things that give Phides so much value. Phides is capable of generating revenue out of thin air from people no other advisers or investment firms can target: people who have no initial capital. This includes college students and the working class. Revenue will be made from subscriptions and down payments. Phides is looking to partner with an investment firm. Once our customers have the money and confidence to invest they'll need to go to a brokerage to do it. The partnership will give customers direct contact with a brokerage so they don't need to shop around. This will generate revenue for the brokerage and Phides by collecting commission on investments made by customers we have given them. There will also be advertising by companies that could be beneficial to our customers which will provide another source of revenue to increase financial stability.
