Mainly how do you got about searching for people to invest in your company (not individuals who want to throw you 10grand, i am talking about the big fish)

Venture Capitalists- NO. They require years in business, audited financials and a quick exit strategy. further, the venture capitalists i've researched want to have a controlling stake in your business (over 50&#37. as to searching for angel investors, i'd recommend InvestorInspector.com (Investor Inspector you get angel capital groups, private angel capital, angel capital by states--) . they offer the posting service where you can broadcast your funding request but you also get access to the database of angel investors, venture capital and angel capital investor groups so you can try contacting both venture capitalists and individual angel investors.
