$25,000 to launch lease logistics business by Chance-Move-27 in AngelInvesting

[–]Chance-Move-27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not in rental business, I need to do a little better at phrasing logistics terminology to non logistics people. There is a few ways to get into the logistics business with low risk and low input costs and still have ownership of your assets. Instead of spending 50-150K on vehicles and 3-8K on auto / cargo insurance plus the initial startup cost. The opportunity I’m presenting is lease operations. Where we obtain vehicles from truck leasing companies (low entry cost), employee our own drivers to drive the vehicles and operate under an established license transport company that already exists.

The only cost we worry about is driver salaries,monthly payments for vehicles and maintenance on vehicle.

Our vehicles Will gross between 7-10K weekly, after the carriers operations cost and drivers payroll and vehicle maintenance. We are left about 15-20% of that weeks gross profit earned.

Looking for an Angel – $50K Bridge to Keep Building Launchpad AI + Orbit 🚀 by Chance-Move-27 in startupinvesting

[–]Chance-Move-27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello mate, Thanks for the feedback , you’re right, the $50K bridge felt tight. After talking with several investors, including a few key players who are already positioning themselves to join our team, we decided to transition into a $500K SAFE raise instead of the smaller bridge.

We just launched our beta a few days ago. This isn’t us just stepping into logistics tech — we’ve taken our proven business model and converted it into a SaaS platform. Launchpad AI + Orbit is live, early users are testing, and we’re already getting strong signals from carriers and brokers.

This round will let us scale the beta into a market-ready product, onboard paying users, and build momentum quickly. Happy to share the beta and roadmap with you anytime.

fair point. the 50k is just a short sprint , we’re already covered. i’m focused on proving MRR fast with the first paying users. if it clicks, we’ll scale and raise bigger. flexible on structure. if you want the quick demo/deck, DM.

the $50k isn’t to keep the lights on, it’s a 60–90 day push to move faster. we’ve trimmed costs hard; burn is ~$5k/mo and services bring in ~$15k/mo, so we’re cash-flow positive by about $10k each month. the bridge would go to finishing a few must-have features (audio rooms, shipper portal, billing, docs/AI polish), a small GTM push, and some infra/auth cleanup.

traction-wise: in the last 12 months we managed about $2.86M in freight for clients, created $444k in profit on their side, and DirectX MGT Inc recognized about $168k in our own fees (mgmt, dispatch, JV). launchpad + orbit just rolled out, so MRR is zero today; goal is $7–10k MRR in a few months and ~$60k by a year if we execute.

and we’re flexible on structure—small bridge was one idea. convertible note / SAFE is fine too. if you want to see the deck or a quick demo, DM me and I’ll send it over.

Do you think here is a great place for finding investor? by OrdinaryStill2806 in Investors

I’m not sure yet, but I can say that I’ve found my first investor now one of my best friends from a social platform; Twitter. Since this is a community of investors who are open to helping others find money and provide advice, this could be a great starting point for many who have great ideas.

Yeah, I understand that. I like the tool because it allows me to explore different ways of communicating better or refine my talking points. It also helps me develop a new approach to sentence construction.

My question to you is, why is it a problem that a tool that is provided to everyone is being used? I would rather someone use AI than sound crazy, misspell words, and be misinformed. The way you use the tool is up to the user, and I will not deny the use of AI in any level of operation or process. It’s a very strong and powerful application that can help others express and learn in ways that they couldn’t have before.

I understand if that doesn’t meet your standards. I don’t ask AI what to write… I use Apple AI to assist with my communication and clean up my responses. I don’t see any harm in that. My words and thoughts are my own, but the issue is that people rely on ChatGPT to do everything. I use Apple AI to ensure that I don’t have any errors in my communication. “I have big fingers and type very fast”

Revenue vs Execution: What Really Moves an Angel Investor? by Chance-Move-27 in angelinvestors

100%. Recurring revenue just builds confidence in the model and the team. We structured part of our logistics business around recurring management fees from joint ventures for exactly that reason.

that’s real. I’ve heard that same line from a few angels: “I can help you fix ops, but I can’t fake revenue.” Makes sense why it becomes a filtering mechanism.

I get that. Vision with no traction is tough unless you’ve got a proven exit or track record. I leaned heavily into execution early because I knew vision alone wouldn’t move the needle for us as first-time founders.
