Re:	Venture Capital Funding/Venture Partnering For
	Web Site Developers/Entrepreneurs

Hello;

	My firm is currently considering providing financial and strategic
backing of promising websites and website developers. It is my job to
determine the viability of this project.

Our Background

	We (DataMerge, Inc.) are currently the largest provider of
financing/financial information to businesses, intermediaries and
financing professionals worldwide. Our information products and
financial application software is distributed via stand alone software
products, custom stand-alone databases, and most recently, over the
internet.
	DataMerge has been featured in publications including Inc.,
Financial Times, Entrepreneur, Success, Denver Post, and LA Times to
name a few.

What we provide

	DataMerge's existing development, marketing and distribution
channels can provide website developers with the backing they need to
quickly (and profitably) move an idea through development and into the
market.
	Without this kind of backing, most ideas never make it to
market, and if they do, fail because the developer doesn't have the
resources to properly market the product.

What we're looking for:

	1.	In the long run

	We feel that over time, and even immediately, there is a lot of
opportunity on the web. Of course, for us to commit to web development
projects, we need to locate website developers who:

	*Need financial backing
	*Have ideas/plans for development of profitable sites.
	*Have the ability to take the project from start to finish.
	*Have entrepreneurial aptitude.
	
	We anticipate that we may eventually work with people from all
professional and educational backgrounds, including recent college
grads.		

	2.	Immediately

	Right now, we need to get an idea if we can generate a sufficient
number of quality responses/proposals to warrant further pursuit of this
market at this time.
	If you feel you can develop a profitable site/service, please
respond to the following preliminary questions. Every answer will be
given full consideration. If we feel an opportunity exists, we will
contact
you for further evaluation, and if warranted, deal structuring.
