Process of taking on investors

Try looking into a small business incubator program. You have to be pretty serious to get accepted as a member but many provide mentoring and training, and even guidance through capital raising. Since I am in Lafayette, I am only familiar off hand with the one here that's done very good things. It's called Opportunity Machine. Check it out to get an idea.

Fyi, early on after starting in Lake Charles, Waitr worked with the Opp Machine.

Start with family. If they won’t invest in you, no one else is likely too either.

I’ve sat in on some pitches recently and can send you some pitch decks if you want to see them

We have a product we created in the construction industry and recently made our first sale to a building supply store chain. They issued ya a PO for 240 units. Product should be in store by end of April. For our initial production run we placed an order of 500 units but in order to get our margins where they need to be we will need to order in much larger quantities. We can continue placing orders of 500 to 1,000 without taking on investors but should the product take off once they are in in stores and our website goes live then we would need capital to order in larger quantities.

We have already purchased the domain name and trademarked the name. We have a patent pending on the product that we submitted in March of 2018, so hopefully we hear back about that any day.
