How to find investors?

ozanthedeveloper · Nov 27, 2023

I have an AI article generator service. I'm improving the service day by day, coding new features, fixing things, etc. At some point, I'll need investors to do marketing or hire someone who can do marketing. However, how will I reach investors? I don't think they'll find me out of nowhere. How can I reach them, is Linkedin my only chance? What's your advice?

Bro, here's some heartfelt advice - before you start working with investors, really think about what you want from them and what you're willing to give in return. If you want to keep control over your service, pour your heart into it, and make it a long-term project, then you might want to consider growing it without external funding. Working with professional investors is a unique field where you need to know how to sell yourself well, but not sell out forever

But if you're sure you need investors, just Google "investments for my IT project" and browse through the list of sites. There's even a way to make money like this: create a minimal value product (a working prototype) → sell it to an investor → start your next project → sell it…

Thanks for the advice. Ofc I give my heart to my project but for marketing, I need external funding. Having a full control over my service is another matter too, you're right.

Firstly, you need to spend money, Find a rich club or community, enter it, and start building relationships with them. This is the most effective way, and from there, it all depends on your social skills. Or you can try sending proposals to angel investors and companies specializing in investing in startups, but it will be harder.

A little different view....

For getting in front of people, try working with some of the SEO AI youtubers (WordsAtScale, Income Stream Surfers, etc)... that can help you get in front of larger audiences. Starting some affiliate program can also help. I know its not the answer to your specific question, but its an easy way for people to find out about you, which could lead to some organic investment or even taking it to the point where you dont need investment b/c of the business you are doing and can afford to hire a marketer.
