A MySpace for Inventors, Entrepreneurs and Expert Business Advisors

PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 28, 2008 – Boca Raton, FL - Have a great idea and not sure where to begin?  Are you past the ideation stage and need the right relationships to get your business started?  Are you an expert in a particular field and looking to offer advice to inventors and entrepreneurs for equity in their concept?  If so, then Jay C. Pearlman's online community, ExpertForEquity.com, is a perfect site for you to visit.

"ExpertForEquity.com is the MySpace for inventors, entrepreneurs and expert business advisors," explains Pearlman, who has developed ideas his entire life; however, he has always felt that having the proper relationship to execute was more important than the idea itself.  Thus, hoping ExpertForEquity.com will solve that problem for individuals.

Individuals are always creating ideas or business plans with the hopes of inventing the next iPod or building the next Google, Starbucks, or Microsoft.  Yet, for most people the hardest part is where do I begin and who can I speak with that is an expert in that field?  ExpertForEquity.com is filled with profiles of expert business advisors that want to offer assistance and are expecting to be contacted by inventors and/or entrepreneurs via the site.  

S. Michael Camp, Academic Director for the Fisher Center of Entrepreneurship and President of the Technology Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Institute, both at The Ohio State University says, “All of us have creative ideas for new products and services, but successfully taking those ideas to market requires access to expertise at just the right time.  It is no longer just what you know but who you know that makes the difference.  Leveraging a growing international network of professionals, ExpertforEquity.com assures that you have access to key experts exactly when you need their expertise the most.”

"If you are a nurse and wake up one morning with a great toy idea, in most cases you would not know where to begin.  However, if you come to ExpertForEquity.com and perform a keyword search, you may be able to find a person that can steer you in the right direction,” explains Pearlman.  Using the keyword search, a user would type in words that they would hope to find on a potential mentor’s profile.  If you are seeking an expert in the toy industry some of the keywords you might want to search are: toy, consumer products, Chinese factory, Mattel, etc.  The site will then populate a list of profiles that match your search and you then have the ability to read each profile and decide if you want to contact that expert.

Besides being a great resource for the inventor and entrepreneur, ExpertForEquity.com, is an outstanding tool for the person who is seeking an opportunity to get involved with a concept or business at the early stages.  By simply creating a profile with your work experience and accomplishments, you virtually create a situation that will allow people to find you.  You do not have to be the former CEO of General Electric to qualify as an expert.  Just about any person that has experience in a certain field could become a great asset to an inventor or entrepreneur with no experience.

Pearlman, the founder of a toy manufacturing business explains, "Ideas are everywhere, the most critical aspect is executing and in order to do so, you need to have the proper relationships.  ExpertForEquity.com brings individuals together without regard for geography, socioeconomic backgrounds, educational levels, etc.  If it helps individuals execute on an idea or business then I am a happy guy."
