I no longer play this game and haven't done so for quite awhile.
I've discovered recently that I've got 65b in my wallet.
I'll give it away in 5b chunks to anybody who posts a half decent business plan.

In my opinion, the most helpful way to give this money away, is to go to the beginner's help channel in game. See which noob is asking questions and enjoying the game, and give it away in 1 bil chunks. This will do much more good than giving it away here. (I do this sometimes when I'm bored). Also occasionally when you come across a noob that's salvaging wrecks in low-sec in a Merlin, you can give them 1 bil, because they really need it. Because you also want to avoid giving any ISK to people who are ready, willing, and able to PLEX it.
Or you can save your ISK, and donate it in the next Plex4Good when disaster strikes. |

After the holidays I plan to install one or two Raitarus in a system with decent index for myself and a small group, to start our own production endeavor ... totally excited about But some funds would help as the equipment is expensive and we also have to put aside some ISK to hire mercenaries, just in case. 5B would be a really nice kickstart.

Hello!
Well after a 1 year break from eve i recently returned with big plans. Started from my 1.5 bil and in trading grew up to be worth around 10 bil in a week (not the best but i cant update orders more than a couple of times a day).
I started doing all of this because i have long time plans to start trading 3 manufacturing alts + 1 hauler pilot (thus bringing my plex needs up to 6 each month).
These builders will be used to exploit market instabilities and thus will build each weak or less specific items to maximize profit. With this i hope to archive some business "verticalization" and increase my profits since i will be able to save a lot of taxes of selling component items and finished products (if so is more profitable of course)
The products will then be dispached to the hubs where my 4 market alts sit atm, possibily new ones depending on my research on profitability in low - sec and in null is concluded.
As ofc builders will take a long time to train (been checking sale orders of characters but i wouldn't want to drop my full net-worth onto one since i couldn't then market trade efficiently.
Thank you for your time and if you need any more details hit me up!
And in case you do actually leave the game add me to contacts. Never know when one might return and need a few plex! |

If you don't play much, train a few research skills (laboratory operation, advanced laboratory operation), buy some capital component blueprints and research them. It takes something like 5 months to fully research one in a bonused engineering complex, and adds about a billion to its value (say 1b->2b). If you have 3 characters, each researching 10 BPO's at a time, you can turn this into quite a business, an income estimated at 6b/month. You only need to log in once per month to start the research jobs as well. A big initial investment is required though. 65b should be more than enough. |

I think you might have missed the 1st 6 words of my post -

After careful consideration I have awarded the 1st 5b to AcreatorPT and the 2nd 5b to Tipa Riot

I want to get into the mineral and high volume trading business. I will place buy orders for certain minerals near mining systems, and then re-sell those minerals. The funding would give me the initial capital I need to place the buy orders. With the ISK that I make from trading operations, hopefully I can eventually turn it into a ship manufacturing operation as well with a small engineering complex. |

Hope I'm not too late. Came back to the game with Acsention, currently Alpha and reading every bit about trading here to make some funds. Also I see there is not much stuff to buy on the markets where I'm living but there is lowsec close by and my idea is to stock one of the border highsec systems with all the goods the PvP players need. Unfortunately this needs a lot of capital, because there will be slow sells in the beginning I assume, so would appreciate any help. |

Hello.
My plan is to invent and manufacture popular T2 modules. I'm still researching which ones are worth building (T2 fighters, warp disruptors, strip mining lasers seem profitable). Later on, I'm going to train into a freighter to help haul stuff around. The problem is that freighters are quite pricey (1 billion isk+), so I would have to do invention+manufacturing for a while to earn enough for one.
For the time being, I'm manufacturing T1 ammo (mostly missiles), that I seed around mission hubs. But the profits are slow and skill training for T2 manufacturing takes a while.
If you have any more questions, feel free to send me a mail in-game. An investment of 5 billion isk would go a long way at this time. |

5B isk received and many thanks! Again hope you might one day return and if so contact me for some free plex!!
Also if ppl seem suspicious to you motives (or you are having trouble finding "investors" i can take some more shares as an actual loan (at low or 0 interest) (yes if you one day return ill make my priority to pay back whattever you sent me - as such i cant promise id do it instantly)
I do have a lot more business ideas and things i wanna try and researched into (like try to run some reaction POSes and a few more (if you want again i could eve mail and discuss with you in game.
I could come here with some alts to propose more business ideas and try to get a couple more 5 bil but im an honest man (take it with whatever salt you need) and such would feel terrible doing it and cant bring myself to do it.
I understand you want to spread the joy and ofc im already more than thankfull for your help (yay xmas early present).
for the ones yelling greedy (i agree and in no way im not saying for him to not help other people) but as you understand things in eve take a long time, and i cant possibly try half the things i want in a year (because i need to keep some good liquid isk to run operations and as such doing a large investment into say 5 or so towers, training 6 characters, buying bpos keeping materials and stock, pay haulers and the most important 1st steps to actualy have the freighters, DSTs, BPOs, couple of towers etc etc
---
TL:DR: if you want / dont find good businesses i can take more isk as a loan in case you come back some day (actualy would be funny you come back one day so i could get my 1st good public MD rep from non friends in the game! |

I recently tried to go into the hauling business and liked it, but I have noticed there is not much offers for t1 haulers, so you need a freighter and then a scouting/webbing alt to really get competetive and lower risk. With my today income it would take a long time to get the funds and skills for becoming a "space trucker". With 5 billion ISK I could buy a few skill injectors and a the freighter.
Thanks for reading. |

With the advent and proliferation of Citadels and Engineering Complexes as well as the burden that they may represent to their owners, We'd like to provide regular fueling and maintenance services in order to help simplify the day to day operation of these structures.
Using PI and Ice Mining (as well as subcontracting these to meet demand) we would make fuel block production as vertical and as efficient as possible at our own facilities, and use hauler alts to distribute them on schedule to the exact specifications of our clients. So not only do our clients get a fair price on their much needed fuel, they get the peace of mind of a galaxy-class service that would guarantee their energy needs are met on time and on their terms. Fueling becomes something they no longer have to worry about, and their own citadel/EC services would continue unimpeded.
For an extra premium we would also deliver janitorial staff for the discerning client who wishes their installation to remain pristine. |

I only started playing earlier this year, but I'm planning on doing manufacturing and blueprint research/invention with my corp. We're fairly small and don't have many options for making isk so it's been slow to start up, we're hoping to get into the swing of things by mid next year. Saving for the things we need is taking longer than expected. I actually made my first spreadsheet for it today, so that's nice.
For making the isk so far, I've been doing trading but I pay for my game time via plex which takes a big chunk of my earnings every month. Learning new play styles in eve is incredibly hard, especially with the amount needed to actually get into them with any degree of success, which is causing further difficulties.
Words are hard, so that explanation will have to cut it. Thanks for doing this giveaway, I hope that it'll help the people that end up getting the isk. |

I'm hoping to establish a small corporation of corrupt, drug-dealing police officers. All corporation members will be mustachioed, Aviator-wearing Intaki with police-skinned comets, which we will use to deliver boosters to any back-alley in empire space.
I'm still working on a corp name that is an amusing play on D.A.R.E., but have managed to scrape together seed money for my first reaction tower, which will be going up in a low-class wormhole as soon as the matter of the name is settled.
Additional funding is needed for: -More towers to diversify booster production (and for building strong boosters) -Comets -Police skins -Thugs to secure transactions -Bribing internal affairs

I would like to expand my operation into blueprint copying and researching.
The plan would be simple, find blueprints preferably at below NPC and research them to acceptable levels, once that is done I would start making copies and selling them this would give me more regular liquid isk.
Since I now have regular liquid ISK income, I would expand production of T1 items. If the prints can generate enough income, I would look into finding a regular supplier to simplify logistics which would make my life alot easier.
I was thinking of trying to find some Alpha mining corps to supply me, so I could help out the Alpha corps with regular income as well.
Thats basically my short to medium plan. |

I dunno much about businesses, but I know how to make some delicious pancakes. Think about this, who's happier, someone who's working hard to make a little more income, or someone who's eating pancakes..
INGREDIENTS 1-+ cups all-purpose flour 3-+ tsps baking powder -+ tsp salt -+ cup sugar 1-+ cups milk 1 egg 3 tbsp butter, melted
INSTRUCTIONS Melt the butter in microwave for 30 seconds, set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir milk and egg together. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the butter and milk mixture into the well. Use a wire whisk to stir everything together until just combined. It will be slightly thick and lumpy, but should be well incorporated. Allow the batter to rest while heating a lightly oiled skillet or griddle to medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately -+ cup for each pancake. Cook each side for 3-6 minutes, until lightly golden brown. |

Good to see you're still alive, even if not playing eve!
Business Plan:
Hire Purchase Blueprint Service
If someone wants a blueprint they cannot yet afford they can come to me and pay a 10% deposit. I will buy the BPO for them and research it or copy from it for free while I hold it (I can also build from it by arrangement). The client can pay off the balance of the cost of the BPO over whatever period of time they see fit. All they are committed to pay is the 2% interest on the outstanding account balance each month. Once the BPO is fully paid for it is released to the buyer, who benefits from his foresight and receives a print that has several months of research or copying value on it, rather than having to first save for the print and only then be able to research it or otherwise use it.

Might aswell give this a go. I recently came back, upgraded account and started with what i got. Currently im focusing on inventions and some production until ive trained the skills to jump to capital part production. This way i will get there slowly by myself nyt ofc 5b would make it alot easier to start the production lines.

I don't understand why people bother speculating on ship balances. Even confirmed changes. For anything except pirate faction ships, supply would simply meet demand, and while there would possibly be a small spike or shortage on patch day, unless the components went up in price I don't see why there would be any reason for anything more than a small increase in price at best.
This is a signature.

They probably do it because they saw how much ISK people like me made doing it on combat recon ships.
Even dumping them onto sell orders during the post-rebalance demand spike paid build cost + 25 million.

My business plan: Stockpile an enormous amount of T2 ship BPCs (this part is not expensive).
Monitor various sources of news for evidence of demand spikes, such as a fleet of shield interdictors getting whelped in null. Additionally keep one of each ship for sale in Jita at well above market price as a coal mine canary - if it sells, that's a demand spike.
Produce from the hoarded BPCs to meet the spike demand.
An extra 5b would fund the coal mine canaries - one of each HAC, recon ship, command ship etc.

Hi, awesome that your doing this!
I'm a beginning player but I'm currently training up lots of industry skills, with this I'm hoping to start my own corp together with a friend I made that has a lot of experience already and shares the same goals in this game as myself.
We'd like to get our own station and pos's up and start manufacturing ships for our members so we can have little fleets going through low and maybe even null and wormhole space (would love to set up my own pos in a wormhole system! lol), learning pvp and pve as well as it's all good fun. I'm working on an alt to be able to haul stuff around but I only have one character and the dual character training is not cheap so I'm switching a lot when I cannot afford it, then there is my isk race to a freighter of course.. It would help greatly towards my goal of running my very own corporation (and maybe even alliance soon) and having people aboard for a grant adventure, I have started working on the road towards it but being a beginning player myself it all takes a while.
I guess my 'business-plan' focuses mainly on having fun and gathering experience with a good group of people and not the maximum return on investment.. I'm sure I will I grow it bigger as I have made a lot of progress already. |

Hi,
I am planning to get into T2 manufacturing and am currently working on training the required skills and establishing the required capital. Until now I am mainly station trading as well as doing some T1 manufacturing to gather the capital for the initial material costs/blueprints/fuel etc. An additional 5 bil would go a long way to speeding up the process. |

Hi! What christmas spirit! (shame your leaving though)
I'm still a bit of a noob but one that would love to start living in wormhole space and setup my own POS'es so I can do reactions and PI to make all the isk. Of course a venture like this has quite some startup costs for ships and the towers as well as an hauler alt to start getting all the beautiful reactions and compounds out so a donation would be most helpful to get to break even and positive quickly. It would also get me going right away instead of having to wait for a few months. I'm currently doing exploration, mining and fabrication and a little bit of trading until I have everything sorted out. I'd really appreciate it, nonetheless very cool of you to share your wealth with others trying to do what you did and make all the iskies upon leaving this game, hope I will once be able to do the same.

Hi there! As others have mentioned before, it's a shame you're leaving such a great game, and hope you come back some day, if not good luck in your ventures IRL. As with my business plan, I have been a trader since I started playing the game. I obtained my first 500m isk through mining and exploration and used that as my starting capital. So far I have been running hub to hub trades mostly but recently I have decided to purchase a cheap trader alt and start station trading. My eventual goal is to have one station trading toon in each hub, along with my 6th and main char running hub to hub hauls, so you can say I've taken the second step towards my goal.
Your 5b, if you decide that I'm worthy, will be used as extra starting funds for my new station trader in Dodixie currently I have 2b liquid for her so 5b extra will provide a great boost to my new venture!
Thanks for reading and your consideration =)

I do a bit of trading but it's low volume with low reward due to low isk pool.. But i Really want to get into manufacturing, so I'd need t buy a fair few bpos, and research them, and then start that whole manufacturing deal. And eventually when isk allows it I'd like to start capital manufacturing, been wanting this ever since I started. I'd like to go on to T2 manufacturing but that I know very little about. |

Hello! I'm planning to go into Freighter and Orca construction already have the skills trained to build them, but the blueprints for these are quite pricey, considering all of the construction part blueprints you also need, aside from the actual final product blueprints. All of which is quite expensive, though I'd like to do all the research myself to help offset costs. My corp is a small operation, and this kind of a cash bump would allow us to build a complex for doing the research, which we'd like to allow to be open for public use in our area of operations once it's online. I've been doing a lot of smaller construction, mining barges/indy ships, but Freighters and Orca's are the main goal we're shooting for, and of course, can't forget the cost of needing to hire protection forces should the need arise, and, being as industry is a dangerous profession, will certainly need it!

With EVE going free to play, exploration as a career for newbros has become a hugely popular career path with these items now flying out of the door. I would like to restructure part of my business model into becoming a one stop shop for all explorer and scanner pilots needs, including new and experience pilots alike.
I would like to invest the isk into every facet of this. Ships (T1, T2 and SOE), Probes and Probe launchers, analysers, rigs, scan arrays, cloaks, warp core stabs, agility mods, speed mods and some drones also for defense. This isk would allow me to seed these items within 2 trade hubs - one in HS and the other in null (after just forming links and gaining permissions from an alliance to be able to do this - where supply is currently short!)
As I have an industrial alt will allow me to invest this money into the production of said items and then getting them to market for reasonable prices.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. What a fantastic gesture you are making! |

The question of how to make isk has bugged me for a while. I'm in this game mostly for the interaction with other players, so I'd rather avoid pve activities in general. I just can't see myself spending days mining, ratting or station trading. I'm also probably the biggest frigate lover out there. So I tried to figure out a way to make good isk, in frigates, doing something that is not as mind numbing as the aforementioned activities. Here's what I cooked up:
1. Exploration. Initially planned it as a short term goal, due to it having low sp and isk requirements, I've found myself enjoying it a lot. I do exclusively wormholes and nullsec, which keeps it constantly challenging and exciting. Due to that, I think I'll keep doing it moving forward, ideally moving into CovOps or the sexy beast that is the Astero.
2. Burner missons. Good isk per hour, a pve activity that is actually challenging and, cherry on top, restricted to frigates!? Talk about a wet dream. The drawback is that getting into it is ridiculously costly, both SP and isk wise. You essentially need several, quite blingy, pirate frigates as well as implants. Of course the benefit is that I also get to use those same skills to go pvp afterwards, as well as for step 3 of my master plan.
3. Moving into a shattered wormhole. I have a friend who is obsessed with wormholes and keeps nagging me to move into one with him. I am obsessed with frigates. Enter shattered wormhole, restricted to frigates. Has the benefit of checking all the boxes I want an activity to offer me and uses the skills already trained for the previous steps, thus being a natural transition.
In between all of these actvities of course, I would be testing my steel in pvp!
That is all for now. Your isk would obviously help a great deal, but whether I get it or not, wish me luck. If you have any questions or suggestions, I'm also open to that.
Best regards, Edwin. |

My business plan is simple: I manufacture things, and sell them at a profit. Having experience in trading, mining, and manufacturing, and being skilled in the arts of spreadsheets and accounting, I am confident I won't make many losses at all. I am currently building a manufacturing corporation; I cut costs by looking for the best cost indexes, the cheapest materials, and if I can't haul the materials/products myself, the cheapest freight. So far, I have not made a loss. My plan is to expand my small corporation in to an industrial powerhouse, and once we get our first Raitaru, things will head in that direction much faster. Eventually I plan to supply alliances with fairly-priced equipment, munitions, and goods.
A 5 billion ISK boost would certainly not go to waste, and my corporation makes an effort to support other player corporations as well by preferring to rent offices in citadels, by using capsuleer-owned facilities for our research, and forming trade agreements with mining corporations.

So I am a returning player, who started EVE a few years ago and ran into the starter trap. I didn't do enough research, so I earned my first battleship by doing missions and then went straight into 0.0, after hearing how easy it would be to earn money out there. Long story short: I dropped into the great TEST war for Delve and lost far more than I could earn. When I returned to EVE this year, I had almost no money left. But I learned my lesson, for I now know what "only fly what you can afford to lose" really means. This time, I've read all the stuff at EVEUni, the forums and Reddit and actually tried to learn about the metagame.
My plan: First, I'll seek to earn a safe and steady income, so that I won't fall into nothingness if my ventures should fail. Seeing that I am mostly trained in combat ships, I bought a Machariel for Incursions and will be doing them for a while to build up a good money base, just to be safe. It took a bit to farm for this ship, but the Incursions are worth it. If all else fails, I can always get some money there.
But in the end, this game is a capitalist economy simulator. And that's why I plan to make money by trading. Since successful trading needs experience and an understanding of the market, I am currently training into freighters (this will take a month). By flying or Red Frog, I hope to get a better understanding of the main trading routes and goods. When I start my own trading ops afterwards, the freighter skills won't be wasted. Right now, I am already doing missions to get my standing up in the main trading hubs, since I suspect even small taxes can really add up in large trading operations.
The money would be used for the freighter and as a boost to my start-up capital for trading. Since the economy of scale makes profits rise proportional to the investments done, this would help a lot.
Thank you for your time. |

I am also a new player. Started with an alpha clone and realized quickly that wasn't enough. I have been thoroughly enjoying exploration. I've made around 250 mil in the short time I've had to play. Have been saving up for covert ops ships, but i recently got a new irl job which has hindered my exploration plans.
If you were to generously grant me a chunk, i would use that to buy ships that would allow me to survive more encounters and blow up less containers because my coherence is too low. It would also allow me to learn in a more stress free environment, which would increase my isk output as well.
After exploration i want to try out some pvp. Isk obviously helps this as well.
Either way, your money mate. Sorry your time in eve has come to an end. |

I've always liked Eve for the industry/research part... Also trading interests me,
If i Would receive 5b ,
i would use it to first hone my research and industry skills a bit higher, Then i would buy a few Decent BPO's ( read : more expensive ) and start copying and researching them to their T2 variants.then i would start creating the items and find to make a deal with a corp that needs them to offer a supply line for them.
That if i have the funds needed :)
Basicly said , i would set up a production line !
To some this might sound ridiculous, but to me it's what i want to do in EVE
Thanks for reading this

With 5B,
I would like to setup an engineering complex to create a place for new members of our alliance to learn the fun of industry.
It would also serve as a learning platform for our older members in the ways how eng complex management works.
Any left over money would be used to purchase some basic blueprints & material for training purposes. |

While i dont really make money as of yet for this, funding would cover my own ingame activities so i can focus on building the business without worrying about grinding isk
