>What tips do you have for gaining capital and finding investors?

Go start and run some businesses from scratch. 


>I have a great idea but 0 business experience!
>here's a million dollars because it's a great idea, anon!

In real life investors want to see that you know how to make money. This may be by running profitable businesses in the past, or having millions in your bank account, or making money off your current idea. Otherwise good luck. You have to explain why they should give money to you instead of someone that's started and run several successful businesses in the past. Most people have no answer for that. 

And let's be real here, they shouldn't give a kid with an idea and no experience money. That would be silly.

Also "start-up" is usually a meme. You should be able to soft-start any business. 


Start selling product/service and THEN go to your potential investors with PROOF that your idea sells.

Financial Straights? Don't Declare Bankruptcy JUST yet...

>become self-made AH mogul on illidan-us after transfering with under 1000g
>start by just buying and reselling cheap stuff that I can at least sell at large profits
>things are going well
>gaining digits
>one day twilight jasmine is going fucking nuts
>keep buying it and the fucking botters keep flooding it
>my pride is at stake
>all of my AH profit is being dumped back into the herbs
>shit is filling my banks, mailboxes, can't contain it all
>something's gotta give


After a while I thought all my hard work was wasted, but finally I broke through and became probably one of the richest people in the game at the time when I realized the cash cow that was mysterious fortune cards. I controlled the AH hard from then on. I'd take robitussin and trip all night while just grinding the fuck out of the AH. Most of the fun was just seeing my name all over it and getting hatemail, or ramdomly sending some noob a gift of more gold than he'd ever seen like it was nothing to me
