How Does Someone Get Investors For Tech Startups? by lordkrato(m): 7:22pm On Sep 01, 2013
Hello all, i'm a developer and my team and i are on the verge of developing a wonderful tech solution to financial transfers. Like most startups, we are limited by funds and due to the current climate we're in, pitching ideas to non-tech investors seems to meet a brick wall as most make us seems aloof or can't sync with our terms.

Anyway, i would love the house to respond with possible ideas on how to meet such willing investors and any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards all.

A kick starter. I'm interested

Could you explain a bit more about your project?

Basically, it's a payment processing working model. Increased security, faster payments, better customer experience

Search for cchub / Tony elumelu foundation grants

I think elumelu foundation gives out $5000

Also
You could search for SPARKS owned by Jason Njoku.

These are the renowned tech investors I know of

Looking at the scenario in this country, i wonder where the investments are going to.are nigerians investment-shy or are our investment priorities out of place?
Re: How Does Someone Get Investors For Tech Startups? by lordkrato(m): 2:14pm On Sep 24, 2013
Thanks All.

I have spoken to some people from NL but it seems that the same thing recurrs, People don't want to hear an Idea when you ask them to sign an NDA, but would want to hear such ideas and stuff. Why?

Bro
The harsh truth is you need to shove the NDA somewhere if you really want your idea to come to fruition. Try pitching your ideas without giving core details that make your idea unique.

Although revealing your idea is a risk, but so is not telling anyone and what is an entrepreneur if not a risk taker.

Take a look at kickstarter and see innovative ideas in the open!!!

My 2cents
Cheers.

@Above.

its not just an idea, its a product 90% done. and asking for an NDA isnt something that should put any serious open minded investor off.

Worked out basics on the startup,some nlanders have been useful while some are looking for a very safe investment with high returns.not to be judgy but thats just silly.

perhaps thats why we dnt hve facebook,twitter etc produced frm our environment
