Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime

Everyday I see young brilliant Iranians who want to commercialize their ideas. and they struggle to find a business investor. Many of young researchers in north American universities are developing ideas that can benefit not only Iranians in the US but Iranians in Iran as well

I was wondering if there is any Iranian establishment or foundation that reviews business plans from Iranian students or Iranians in general. I know there are venture capitals but they usually don't support ideas that target a specific ethnic group.

There should be some Iranian business people who are willing to invest, do you know any? will you please leave comments here if you know anyone?

Thanks Anonymous22 Jaan

 

Actually the proverb i used was "Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime" I couldn't fit it in the title so I stripped some parts.

 

I would like to read your blogs if you have any, I will work on my spelling and you work on your grammer ok? here is a sample "because he think that he cuts a dashing figure.." Idiot

The saying you butchered, actually goes like this...

"Give a man a fish and you have fed him for today. Teach a man HOW to fish and he can feed himself for the rest of his life."

Possibly not knowing HOW to speak ENGLISH might be a hindrance to getting your ideas across and the funding you so desperately desire. Possibly, just possibly, for once, an Iranian entrepreneur (if there is such a thing) could come up with a truly unique idea (not a copy cat or rip off of someone else's chip design), an idea so strong that he would be willing to bet his house on it and fund the Goddamned thing himself instead of expecting some "fund" or vulture capitalist to merely give him money just because he think that he cuts a dashing figure in his shiny italian suit, and would look good in a Ferrari. Get a Dictionary, learn how to spell, then go get a copy of "Business Plans for Idiots". That's how you learn how to Fish!

Sia, the folks who are hanging around this website are a bunch of loser unemployed who don't know any better. If they knew about money making, they wouldn't be wasting their time here.... like me :)
anyway, JJ should be able to answer your question, but he's too busy making money :)
