Just arrived here with the idea of an IPO for my small still upstarting business but decided to ask for some advice/ideas/comments or avoid an ipo if anyone is interrested privately :)

Most likely no one have heard of me so here goes, I run keyless (www.klsl.net) with a web based tier system and so far a tipjar wich uses a mysql db to keep track of tips to lookup trough a dialog in the jar.

The reason I came here is pretty simple.
So far I only have 1 user for the system and that was to a good friend and my land lord to make his life simpler and at the same time see it in action for bug fixing.

The thing that brought me here is while only having 1 user, I have had positive feedback from several people who are willing to use it, but with a catch:

It must be hosted by them selfs, web and database :x

To create this and allow offsite hosting would require ALOT more time and money to purchase legal software, both of wich I don`t have anymore as mu SL budget is almost empty :(

As it is currently, it is L$6000 per island per year, wich comes down to peanuts to larger estates and very attractive for small estates so aiming for a very large market.

The current interrest at the moment (going by their words) is approximately 142 islands, this is without modest advertisements.

L$6000 * 142 = L$852,000

This would be the initiale sales figure (if they will buy subscriptions) with a "host it your self" package.
All pages would be encrypted and ingame terminal (copy/mod) would be contacting the central database for sim registrations.

The system is built while keeping in mind other emerging worlds like opensim and hipihi to be adapted without to many changes to the system besides adapting to their coding standards.

Also more products will be made with this in mind, so when a new suitable world emerges, jump in from day 1 and introduce it there.

While my budget is running out, I am trying to get an advanced advertisement system made for store owners, malls etc and is about half done but to the ones that are informed, should be something that would do very well :)

I am also recently active with NCI doing some volunteer work for AdNode, wich will get a free copy of my current project.

This will not be a overnight success to L$1,000,000 profit (but can allways hope :) and with more products to make life abit simpler for residents/retailers with the current feedback, it will be profitable if I could stay and do this full time.

I had in mind to try and raise about L$2,500,000 as my expenses are really low and could working on KL for 8 to 10 months.

With the fund raised and a "host it your self" package released and for sale, use the funds to aquire a dedicated server to host KL on with all products/services and offer very cheap hosting for retailers.

My idea was to offer like 75% of all sales untill the initial amount was payed back and then move on to like 25% so every one would get their investment back as fast as possible and keep rewarding for the vote of confidence (new at stocks so open for ideas/comments ;).

Along with that, i had in mind to startup a RL company based from home to start with to give abit more confidence in KL, do what ever I can do to make it successfull

Additional and idea cropped up for when KL makes money is to get my hands on an island, offer free space to NCI, center public free art display by SL artists, a corner for live events organizers and offer along the sim edges stall/shops for original creations or well known stores, give something to the community and creating an interresting area.

End of rant as I can think of anything else to say for a change :)

If any one has ideas/suggestions/remarks/bites, i`d love to hear them, also as a 1 person company, I doubt I could do an IPO here if the picture in my mind looks good due to some of the rules, any contacts to bypass that? ;)
