How does one find investors when you feel like you have a great idea for a new business?

I’d like any advice you may have for me. If I have an idea, but don’t have the financial resources to launch it, how can I find people that may be interested in partnering?

This will sound harsh.

Ideas are shite.

Customers and Revenue is all that matters. Start there and then go approach friends and family, local investors, SBA, etc.

Start with having a business and a customer and then go raise money. Not vice versa. Your first sentence or first slide in every meeting you go to should be how much money you're making and how much you're growing then how you plan to keep growing that with whatever it is you are asking for.

If this is anything mobile app related, run away fast.

First, you should fully conceptualize your business idea. This would entail identifying your target market, competitors, pricing, etc. Once you have done that, you should draft a business plan to pitch to investors. Be prepared to be told no.

That being said, I am always looking for interesting new business investments. You can email sempergumbyla@gmail.com

Are you aware of OT-Ballers? If not, you should acquaint yourself.
