  Seeking Funding - What Are We Missing?

  Hello everyone,
  
  We are a new company, looking to finally incorporate and take the next step. We have been laying our foundation since 2008, examining all entry / exit strategies, risks, building our network, putting our management team together, and now we finally have all the pieces together.
  
  The industries of real estate and trading futures seem very risky to most people, and while nothing is 100% we have been trained for the past eleven months utilizing system trades that were taught by the author of ' Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets' and passed down to us. Our system has proven to be over 85% accurate while trading S&P 500 index via simulator.
  
  Between our knowledge in that aspect and real estate through numerous mentors, and other investors we do believe our company will be a great success while providing any investors a high ROI. However, as with most companies we are having trouble finding these angel investors to even invest a small amount (in comparison to major start-ups seeking 25 to 50k) of 5 to 10k. Realistically we only need this much, 20k being our cap. The business plan, executive summary, applications, contracts, financials, and licensing have all been set in place. We are only looking for one or two individuals to believe in us.
  
  Any advice will help.
  
  
  Thanks.

  I will bet that you are making the same mistake that I was. I am sure that you are calculating that your only required startup fee will be <10k and that is your problem. Anyone looking to invest in you whom is serious is sizing you up according to your risk. You are only seeking micro investments.
  
  Nobody cares about terms like ROI. What they want to see is how much proof can you provide and how much risk you are willing to take. Add confidence and command presence on top of that and you may find that you will get different results.
  
  Change everything that you are doing for just one experiment and see if it make s difference.
