Where did you find capital to fund/start your business?

I have my own business, and I have been searching for a venture capitalist for some time now. I keep hitting dead ends.
For those of you that own your own business, how did you get it started? If you need capital, where do you go?

Take a look at Vet-Tech or The Bunker. The first is a VC firm focused on Vet companies. The second is an accelerator focused on vet companies.

How much capital are you looking for and what kind of business do you have? I have a few angel investors and impact investing in my circle who are extremely military friendly.

What is your business, do you have customers and do you have a product? Depending on those answers I can help point you to the right people.

I have my own business as well and we have access to a lending platform that allows 3500 lending institutions to have access to your application. Shoot me an email and I will send you the application and explain how it works. [login to see]

I discuss this in great detail in my book, undiscovered investors. Lots of people can write a check for $25,000 to $100,000, put a few together and you have the money you need.I have raised over $150,000,000 in smaller pieces over the years so I know what I am talking about. Recently I raised $4,000,000 in $250,000 pieces. None of this was from venture capitalists who fund less than 1% of the deals they look at.

I was broke with no money and bankrupt. I wrote a business plan, raised $203,000 in 2 weeks from strangers and was a millionaire 3 1/2 years later.I tell you how to do it in my book, One Million in the Bank: How To Make $1,000,000 With Your Own Business, Even If You Have No Money Or Experience (On Amazon). You really, really should read it. I have also written a Veterans' Guide To One Million in the Bank. It does have good original material, but you must get the main book.

You can do it. If you plan right. All of the 12 stories in my book, people were millionaires in 3-7 years from starting with nothing. Feel free to contact me with questions after or before you get the book, http://www.onemillioninthebank.com.
God bless! Good Luck!
