I have a great business idea, its somewhat original but has been done before. The business aspect to it would be the newer part. I am looking for investors but dont want a loan. I am looking into patenting the techonology and then creating a website but a patent costs over $10,000 to do all the research ect. Any ideas guys?
There have been quite a few threads in the last few days about obtaining funding, so browse around a little more or do a search. You can try angel investors and a directory of AI can be found at http://www.angelcapitalassociation.org/dir_directory/directory.aspx If you interested, you can run your idea past me (1-4 sentences is fine) and Ill give you a little write up on what I think. Ill sign an NDA if you like.
Nice hear about your new innovative one. It is important to know that not every idea would work which happened with me and had to learn that in the hard way. What i would recommend is give a start and see how it goes without putting too much money on it. I suggest atleast you should have a website for the start. As time goes on you would pick up the momentum. I wish you Good Luck from my side...Even a 1000 mile journey starts with the first step (chinese proverb).
