Ohio Investors

United States > Ohio

I am a 29 yr old male who resides in Ohio, NYC, and Florida. I have been self employed since 19. I have owned my own business in the insurance industry(usa) since 2005 and an energy reduction business (international) since 2010. I am an individual investor actively looking for additional business opportunity's in several fields, but do want to limit that the ownership group of the current business be based in the USA. There are currently several types of investments I am looking for. If you are a start up with any new technology I do demand that all needed patent's have been obtained. Another alternative I am actively seeking is any small company/start-up that may have energy saving's technology that would 1) help me to present with my current fortune 500 clients for greater achieved savings goals, but 2) to help allow me to channel your products into the right business owner hands to maximize your/our potential future success.

I am a 43 year old married mother of 2 teenage boys who lives in rural northwest Ohio. I have a bachelors degree in nursing. I started my career as an oncology nurse before transitioning into the home health field. I spent time in case management and quality nursing before working my way up to director of home health at our local hospital. 4 years ago, I started a home care agency from scratch. I recently sold it and am looking for opportunities as a silent investor. I consider myself well rounded, as prior to my career in nursing, I had experience in the investment, engineering, and hospitality industries. I'm not part of an investment group and would be acting as an individual investor.
