Thread: I have a great idea but!

The fastest way is to use a job to fund the initial stage of development and bring investors in once the concept is proven by the market.

Create it yourself, put it on the market, generate some profits and the investors will come to you.

I like the combination of 'about' and the '.99' USD.

Why don't you start with family and friends? The amount is not huge.

Its great idea but it wont work in eastern europe ($500 a month is the salary over here) = to get 25 000 it will take me years (about 4 years without eating and drinking )
(anyways iv payed all my initial fund on college (work in dublin), im in the last year and i really dont want to go to other country again and work on construction site)

I cant it will take me years to learn programing in python to that stage to be expert in this and make it real.

family and friends?

they dont support me and never will (slowlane)

My idea "was" to make renderfarm but not using any hosting just use all machines connected by the internet that have this aplication. (just like torrent - more hosts connected then more computational power and quicker rendering time)

BUT i need to hire some lead programmer in python plugins made for software like 3ds max, maya, vue, nukex.

I dont have that experience and it will take me years to learn it. If I wont find anybody to help i need to figure out some small business idea to get that funding myself but i have totally zero idea about small businesses - selling vegetables ?

Are there any venture capital firms or private equity or angel investors clubs over there? You should research that as I don't know if there are groups like that over there and if there are, you can contact them and pitch the idea to them.

You can apply at some of those startup incubator programs. Some of them have contests and offer prize money and seed funding. Look up seed funding companies on the search engines and you'll come up with a bunch. Most want equity in the company for the money and you have to pitch it to them too and they'll ask you all kinds of questions to see if they have interest and if it's viable to market.

Third option is, can you get a loan? Or find a partner who has money or credit?

You may not be able to raise much capital via a local job, but luckily we all have the same internet. Just create a product or service that you can market to people in the US. You don't even need much, if any, coding experience to do so considering the CMSs and plugins that are available for free now. Even if you wanted to build something yourself, a weekend of online tutorials should get you started with a basic version of most sites.

Don't prevent yourself from getting your business rolling because you're focused on an idea that is seemingly impossible without lots of outside investment. Just start a business that doesn't require any capital.

I read a "but" in every idea the other members gave you. Maybe you are not an expert in programming and that could be a perfect excuse to learn it.

Buy a book about general programming and one about basic Python. Knowing the basics you will have a better idea of what you need and know where or what to search on Internet.

Yes, this will take time but passion and motivation for the final goal is enough (at least for me) to dedicate time for your idea.

About investing, there are a bunch of Crowfunding websites. You could take a look and see if you can apply for them.

Big thx for all reply.
Iv spammed all business angels and seed funding that i found near me.

wish me luck
