            <title>Startup Angels Mate With Stars</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Costa Mesa, California January 5, 2010. Webshares.com, a Goal-Quest social network marries twinkling Stars with startup Angels. The site encourages those in pursuit of capital, expertise and basic support to develop and pitch their projects to those who are ready, willing and able to help, invest and promote.&lt;/p&gt;  

&lt;p&gt;Stars (those promoting; personal goals, business ideas, and community projects) can post their projects, indicating what they have, the progress they have made, what they lack or need to succeed, and what they are will to give in return for the help and support they seek. In the process they can use simple tools and features to track and rate their progress (Goal-Track, Rate-It), pitch their wares to interested Angels (Pitch-It), showcase their project and talents and earn credits and share ad revenue their showcase page derives from traffic driven to their showcase via campaigns they produce to have family and friends support their goals. If the idea/project is of exceptional nature it is featured in idea Alley; the premier site showcase.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Angels, the backbone of the relationship, also can post their resources, indicating what they can provide in terms of background, expertise, contacts, support and finance. They can browse Star listings and review pitches (instantly updated when a pitch is made), make offers (a simple form gives the Angel the ability to make an offer after viewing pitches), review their own and other. Angel offers (Offer Board) in a classified listing and they can search Mate Quest a database of all projects filtered by project or resource ID.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When a goal-Questing Star and a project supporting Angel do meet and match they become Goal Mates. This union of a project, idea or pursuit and the expertise and resources needed to launch and or sustain it, forms the foundation of the goal-quest feasibility and ultimate success.
In perspective, on one side you have an idea or personal goal (i.e. the potential) on the other side you have the force or forces which make it possible to successfully develop the Potential. Webshares.com® provides a structure and environment where these Ideas and resources can hook-up, explore fit, court each other and create a Goal Mate union.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Overall the site gives the budding entrepreneur a place and a way to plant a seed, cultivate an idea, develop and market a; product, service, personal goal or community scheme. It also gives; an investor, would-be investors, mentors and skilled professionals looking for business and service opportunity a source of new projects and trends.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Access to the site requires registration, which is free. There is a site tour that does provide a page view glimpse of features. However to really kick the tires, the user needs to signup.&lt;/p&gt;
