Investors

SlamDunk USA (SDU) is running a limited number of events in January 2004. We are expanding our services in the summer of 2004 to provide more events in Beijing and offer new camps in additional cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou, two of China’s largest and wealthiest cities. For 2005, SDU will be expanding to 15 cities around China. To do so, SDU must invest heavily into the marketing, facilities and coaches of our events. This investment requires capital for both US and China operations. The growing economy in China combined with the countrywide popularity of American basketball among the Chinese people and SDU’s winning team of staff, provide the necessary building blocks for a successful venture with unlimited opportunities.
