"VCs, for example, aren't really interested because we don't need very much money"

Not quite. Actually VC's normally won't fund a company unless they do have something that is working. So assuming that your game is worth paying for or the site can be monetized, talking to VC's wouldn't be a bad idea.

One example of this is Google. VC's would not have talked to Google if all the founders had was, "Hey we've got this great idea, and this is how it will work, and this is why it's so cool." Instead they said, "Here, try it."

Even then, you'll have to talk to 100 VC's before you get funding. Are you ready for some hard core rejection?



"Are you ready for some hard core rejection?"

lol. That and some hard core misinformation apparently (at least according to a few of the VCs we've talked to).

We'll keep at it; where does one shop for good VCs who would look at someone in our situation?


You know, I'm not really sure where to find VC's. I've done a lot of homework on Angel investors, and there are lots of good resources, like FundingUniverse.com as one example.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Good luck!
