I came up with a smart phone app idea, researched the idea and found out that it has great potential, I started creating the product. Now I'm in the verge of completing the product and I seriously need start-up funding to get the product off the ground. my question is, how can I raise funds from individuals or companies or organizations to get my start-up going. I know that there is no silicon valley in Nigeria where Venture Capitalist are every where. please NL, I need your advice.

you must be joking, how can you say there is no VC companies to help you. As we speak they are dying to meet you dats if you have something unique different from what other people are doing. Goto spark.ng dey funded companies like hotels.ng, to let.ng bus.ng etc Tony elumelu foundation , google about rocket internet their office is somewhere in ikoyi dey funded jumia.com,cheki.com, konga.com etc so my dear broda my advice to you is to make sure your content is unique and your website and mobile app is responsive too.
