    The Process of Finding Investors Part 2 (Equity for Intros)

    I agree. That's why I put the option to PM me. I'd love to connect. I'm not here to argue with anyone. Just want to connect. I think giving away personal info like that is better for the inbox.

    Thanks I'm on my phone, forgive my unorthodox reply. A piece of my last reply was to you. Thank you for the congratulations. Lots of work. But we'll worth it.

    I am here to connect. Not to blindly ask for referrals. In 2013 this is no different than connecting with someone at an event. I understand, though, that you wouldn't be willing to connect. Regarding my own money investment: I've invested as much as I have. As much as it took to get to...

    The Process of Finding Investors Part 2 (Equity for Intros)

    Hello all, Back in March I made a relatively popular post searching for some advice on linking with investors. At that point all I had was an idea and solid business plans. Since then, I taught myself to code and built the alpha version of the product. Getting great responses from early users...

    Thank you, tough skin from collegiate debating. If anyone reading this thread has skills in backend programming (PHP, Python, Ruby, etc.) feel free to PM me as I continue my search for a co-founder. I won't pretend that the idea is the most innovative thing since the Apple II, but it is...

    Custom from scratch. Not trying to take down the giants, but I think - given the problem being solved, the timing, and my connections with the demographic - I have a real opportunity to capture significant market share.

    Good to see the boss of the place has a sense of humor. Facetious, but funny nonetheless.

    I think that you're absolutely right. After the back and forth on this thread I think that my attention would be best directed toward building a team. That's where I'll focus next.

    It was never my intention to be insulting as much as to poke until I got some information that I didn't already know. This post has been one of if not the most helpful of this thread. Thank you.

    I'm actually trying to raise money. I just thought that if I redirected the question in the form of an essay question, that those who gave answers would seize to deviate from the original given circumstances of the question. I know what conditions are prime for raising money. Have a product...

    If by help you mean a compass, I thought that that was the entire point of the forum. I am simultaneously experimenting with other ways of connecting; trying to decrease the degrees of separation between the willing investor and me.

    I would imagine that they would "give" me their hard earned money because they saw the opportunity for investment. The majority consensus seems to be, "Build the product." or "Find a co-founder." There are other ways to show the ability to execute, though. What about connecting with a...

    Thank you! For some reason, even though this didn't necessarily answer the hypothetical, it made more sense than the previous posts. Even still, I maintain that it must be remotely possible to convince an investor - given a warm introduction from an investing mentor that I've spent time getting...

    Is that what you would put on the essay question? 100% of nothing is nothing. I'm not sure that would be relevant if I received seed money to build a product. Then I would own a higher percent of something. It seems as though no one here thinks it's even possible to get an investor at the...

    I think that we can all attest to the fact that building the product and letting investors come to you is the absolute best way to do it. That: Solved. I think this redirection will help. No more advice. This thread is now a theoretical problem. Hypothetical. Think of it as a short essay...

    I agree with you here 100%. This would be the best way to get funding. Perhaps I should take a year to learn backend programming so I can build the product. In the meantime, given my non-best circumstances, is there any way to make a connection with an investor? Possibly not even to invest...
