Venture Capitalists

I have seeked help by going to GoBigNetwork but they charge $60 a month for their service which seems quite intense. I have a magnificent idea with a great pitch, fully developed business and marketing plans and want to get started on this ASAP but cannot due to lack of funds.

My question is: Are there any websites besides the one mentioned above that are free to submit proposals to seek capital?

Thanks yall!

no. read Ruminations on venture capital, trust networks, and information theory

fund raising is a face to face sport

do you know how to get introductions to financiers?

p.s. stop saying the i word. it's disgusting. don't compliment your self either. say, "I've been referred to you by Mr. Friend. I am exploring a commercial opportunity and I'd like to schedule an appointment with you [mr. financier] to get your feedback."

If you can't raise $60 to join the site, I don't think you are going to get a lot of financing from other people.

There's an excellent article in the May 2007 edition of Entrepreneur magazine regarding the use of Venture Capital databases to find investors for your company. BuzzLogic credits the Growthink Research database for helping it find investors for its $9.6 million Series A funding round which closed earlier this year.

Better be prepared to show that you're willing to dump every red cent you have into the idea also. If you're not willing to, why should they?
