Pornvestors - WTF is this?? My interest is spiked lol

Greenguy · 2013-10-14, 03:59 PM

So I'm on Twitter & this account is suggested to me:
https://twitter.com/Pornvestors

So I click & see their info is this:

Quote:

Pornvestors is the kind of website, you guys will unfollow sport blogs for. So, don't just watch. Invest.
Bucharest (Romania) · pornvestors.com

So I check out the pornvestors.com website. The 1st thing I notice is that it redirects to pornvestors.launchrock.com (launchrock.co - not .com - looks to be one of those funding sites that are all the rage lately - but that's {probably} another story). So I read this on the site's only(?) page:

Quote:

Don't just watch. Invest.

Pornvestors is an Romanian-based private held company, founded in 2013 by Titus Steel and Ralf "Gonzo" Kappe. We will launch pornvestors.com by the end of 2013. Until then: Visit us on Facebook and Twitter. Stay tunded and keep on f******!
Sign up and be the first to know about the launch:
(EMAIL BOX)

The 1st thing that I noticed was that the words "Facebook" & "Twitter" aren't linked

But after that, it got me thinking: Just what is their angle/scam? Could it be as simple as "invest" is another way to say "buy a membership"?

Anyway, I thought it'd be fun to bring it to the board & have a sort of Shits & Giggles contest to see if any of us could figure out what they're doing before they launch "by the end of 2013".

So, what do you think? Let us know! Let's have some FUN! It's very obvious this place is a little boring for the last, ohhhh, 3 years

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand... GO!!

Actually it sounds pretty funky with a crowdfunding page for porn ...

Imagine that, people chipping in to fund all sorts of silly sex sites and productions - without getting anything but signed panties, free wanks and fake pornstars tweets in return.

Oh and being based in Romania ... the craddle of scam and dodgy schemes, im thinking they should get Berlusconi and his hooker mistress as patron saints.

On a positive note, ex had great succes crowdfunding a new album (music) lately - the concept works ... but for Romanian porn ... well we´ll see

Well isn't that a good way to get at least a decent mailing list?

then u can "spam" the living hell...

Greenguy · 2013-10-16, 12:03 PM

So, am I really pretty much the only one whose perplexed by this, and/or is intrigued by how this plays out?

mOrrI · 2013-10-16, 12:11 PM

So U think this isn't a way to build up a malling list?

Isnt Titus Steele involved with Saboom? He is a Romanian "male talent" and does alot of stuff for them, Magma etc - Ralf is also in the Romanian "entertainment" biz - and has a website that advertises crowdfunding and a few other schemes - but never really says what they are headed towards other than raising money

I think that's probably a benefit of their overall plan, but not the sole purpose for all they're doing.

Intrigued maybe, but perplexed?

Post your crowdfunding project:

We will build a "Pussy Casino - play and win pussy" - we need 20k to launch this ...

Donaters get:
10 dollars - 10 free spins
100 dollars - 1 used pair of knickers
1000 dollars - His name signed on the programmers mums tits

...and so Horny Heino, Cuckold Curt and 500 others dump their paycheck for the project ... they get their gifts and the world has another wonderful pornsite.

...it works in mainstream, no reason it couldnt in porn. The site itself makes money by grabbing a % of the donations in admin fees, selling featured project listings etc.
