Where & how to get hold of investors interested in books, literature, publishing?

Asked by Cartman (3054points) April 2nd, 2010

We are looking for investors for our new company and are looking for someone who gets it – thus we would like to find an investor, angel, VC or otherwise, who is into books, writing, reading, literature. We would like someone who understands the publishing process a bit and most importantly can see the possibility of changing a stale, traditional industry and modernizing it through the use of technology.

If someone has any ideas I would be very grateful! Silicon Valley, Dubai, Paris, Brisbane, anywhere in the world.

N.B. PLEASE NO RECOMMENDATIONS ALONG THE LINES: “Why don’t you talk to Stephen King… he must have a ton of money”, etc. I already know this and have a billion ideas myself, but they are doing me no good unless I also know how to get hold of the person/company in question.

P.S. If you want more specifics please PM me, I don’t want to post links and such and be spammy.

I can’t help you but if you list your interests in your profile as Shockingly few, it won’t give any investors much confidence.

Hah! Love that there’s no “bumping” on Fluther!

@drdoombot well, it felt good.

Even if no one can hear you screaming in space – it still might feel like the thing to do :)

(No smiley’s either, I know. Thank God for that.)

I could be wrong, but I really don’t think you’re going to find what you’re looking for on a Q & A.

@Dan_DeColumna nah… probably not but then again it can’t hurt that much to ask either.

@Cartman: Fair enough. Hope you find what you’re looking for.
