Kanye West is openly seeking financial assistance and investments from Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google co-founder Larry Page to fund his start-up ideas for his company, DONDA.

DONDA is named after West's late mother, and supposedly dabbles in almost everything under the sun, though West mainly labels it as a communications company.

Perhaps in a bid to get the executives interested in his plans, Kanye posted a photo of his organizational chart outlining the 14 categories of influence that DONDA will immerse in. West wrote that he presented the same chart in 2012 and that people laughed at it.

Perhaps West believes that DONDA has a better shot in 2016, since he presented it at the Google Zeitgesist Conference back in 2015. That is probably why he is calling the attention of Zuckerberg and Page to invest $1 Billion in his ideas. The only problem is, West is doing that over Twitter, instead of Facebook or Google+ where he would most likely get an actual response.

"DONDA will be comprised of over 22 divisions with a goal to make products and experiences that people want and can afford," West wrote in a deleted Twitter rant back in 2012.

So what are some of West's plans under DONDA? There are some practical and easily achievable ones like credit cards, publishing houses, artist management, record companies, videos, films and even healthy fast food chains.

Then there is the more marvelous, but arduous medical research category which aims to find the cure for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and cancer, though he was not specific on which type of cancer research will be given priority.

Some of the more baffling ones, which we have no clue what he is aiming for, are concepts such as luxury search engine, 7 screen movie experience and emoticon autocorrect. No, we can't explain it either.
