Sleeping Donkey Concept
SleepingDonkey.com is an innovative concept that combines entrepreneurs and people with sleeping capital to form or expand a business by using the Internet. Postings are free.
What is sleeping capital?
“Sleeping capital” is defined as an
unused asset which has had difficulty selling, has been unused, or for whatever
reason the owner is motivated to trade it into a business in exchange for
ownership.
Sleeping capital also includes professional
services and general labor, as well as patents and copyrights. People may trade their time, labor,
equipment property, or materials etc. in exchange for ownership in an
established or start-up company. The
possibilities are endless. If it has
value, it can be traded for ownership.
For example, if I want to build a recycling plant
and I need forklifts, trucks, a furnace, real estate, and perhaps some
engineering expertise as my primary components to build that business, I could
post what I needed on SleepingDonkey.com to find them.
People can then respond to my
Postings on the web-site. For
example, if someone can provide real estate, I can make a deal where they
receive partial ownership in the plant in exchange for their property,
illustrating how one piece of the puzzle is put in place for the creation of a
new business.
It gives
the user the power and convenience of finding all the necessary pieces he needs
for his business in one place.
Inversely, one can post “sleeping
capital” that they “have” in the form of real estate, equipment, professional
services, materials, etc. You can post what you have so that people know that
it's available and that you want to trade that particular thing for ownership in
a new or existing company.
For example, John has some recording equipment
his uncle gave him that he’s been storing in his garage. He posts his equipment
on the Sleeping Donkey website, and Megan, the lead singer of a new popular
band, offers John a portion of ownership in their record label in exchange for
his equipment.
Professionals and general laborers also have a
tremendous amount to benefit from SleepyDonkey.com. Their time may be traded for
ownership in a new or existing venture.
Whether they write, design, consult, build, repair, or any number of
other fields involving time and labor, they will be able to trade their skills
for ownership.
For example, Richard a real estate developer needs an
architectural consultant for his expanding company. Richard posts that "need" on Sleeping
Donkey.com. Jim, a retired Architect sees the posting and thinks this maybe fun
work, (and besides his shared interest may provide travel money). Moreover his
daughter Susan, home from college with a degree in computer science, posts her
abilities in writing software and joins forces for a new joint venture with
Gail, a graphic designer to build web-sites.
In conclusion, the SleepingDonkey.com
website would revolutionize entrepreneurship and “wake-up” sleeping capital on a
global basis, creating endless business opportunities for all the different
players and becoming the new forum for conducting business.
So ask
yourself: What do you have? What do you need? Do you have a Sleeping Donkey?
Wake him up!
