ReplyDeleteHey Freddie, I would love to do an interview with you sometime, maybe over the phone or even in person if you had the time. I write for a variety of well-known websites, including GCobb.com, so the interview would reach a wide audience.
ReplyDeleteIf you could shoot me an email at either 2minutestomidnightgreen@gmail.com, bcunn487@live.kutztown.edu, or contact me via blogger.
I look forward to hearing from you regardless of your answer. Thank You.

Hello Freddy,
ReplyDeleteI am a huge plan and understand that you are a venture capitalist. I have a business I am short with funding.
Downtown Flea Market
Fort Greene Brooklyn next door to Atlantic terminal mall.
Open 3 days / week
30 spaces from the beginning.
We will charge $50 / day.
$1500/ day x 3 days = $4500 / week. $18,000 month gross!!
Expenses are $2000/month including taxes.
Insurance is $1035 / year = $86.25 month
$18,000 - $2086.25 = $15,913.75 (net!!!)
$15,913.75 split 3 ways = $5304.58 / month
Utility we will open up separately but don't think we even need to open an account since its an outdoor space and vendors bring there own generators. So far 238 vendors have emailed me for spot reservations but we only need 30!!!!!!!
