Startups investors

    Hello, i´m starting a new very big project, and i need to get some investors for this start up. I would like to ask what do you consider to be the best startups / investors websites to announce the project and get one or 2 good investors on the project. I was told, there are some websites to get investors, but i really don´t know what. Can you give some ideas please ? Many thanks in advance.

    What about looking at crowdfunding?

    Yes, I'd look into crowdfunding -- that way you can keep autonomy over the project.

    You can take help from few financing consultants who can guide you through the application process with an investor. They will guide you and help you to know what the investor needs to feel safe investing in you and your project. Without a good business plan you're not going to get to face-to-face with the investor to make your pitch.

    Not saying this is your situation but I think there's a tendency for potential start-ups to look for a 'sugar daddy/mommy' investor that will provide a security blanket of cash and encouragement. A start-up and the product or service it provides should be strong enough to stand up on its own.

    Thank you all for your opinions. David Tile, i fully understand what your point is, and it´s really true. It´s not my case. I have almost all the work done and about the strategy, i also already tested it and have it to offer. I will grow this project and i know also i will get results cause i already did it in my country. Now, i´m expanding for a new much bigger market, and need some resources to be able to be more focused on this project and dedicate it more time. This way it will get results faster. Anyway, and again, thanks to all of you.
