negative start up costs?

[snowgoose]

How does someone, secure financing for thier idea / site when all the people who have seen the idea are against it?

lol yes i know most people will say its not possible without blah blah or whatever like giving more than 50% to the investor, but how else can a website achieve start up costs with all the negativity?

snowgoose, that's not an interesting question
financing has been covered in depth on this forum

You could ROB the bank, but that might have negative consequences.

If you need investors for every idea you come up with, you're not going to get anywhere. Do what you can with what you got and go from there.

It might also be worth wondering why they do not want to invest.. maybe they have good reason? Look at this way, if investors aren't willing to back your idea, who's to say there is a viable idea at all?

There are always way to get financing. Dozens of possibilities! and they don't all involve finding investors. Have you exhausted all your options? I doubt it.

If you keep getting a NO for an answer, maybe it's time to evaluate a few things:

a) your presentation skills
b) feasibility of the idea
c) maybe it isn't really a good one and you have to move on

Getting financing for your project is always the hard part. But keep looking at different options. On here you will have a tough time getting any-try going out and really talk to people.
