Main Document

Disabled World receives numerous requests regarding locating financiers and acquiring assistance in developing, patenting and marketing various assistive aids and products for persons with disabilities and seniors with mobility problems.

Raising money has always been a problem for inventors, whether they need funds for a patent, for a prototype, or for production. You need more money than ever to cover the high costs of production and to get into the market with as much momentum as possible.

Most venture capitalists and angel investors receive dozens of pitches every day and simply don't have time to meet with everyone.

To make it more difficult, it's not uncommon for first-time entrepreneurs to need to speak with 50 plus investors before closing a round of funding. So as an entrepreneur, you're going to need to identify dozens of people who could potentially be interested in your company.

What is a Startup Company?

A startup company or startup is a business in the form of a company, a partnership or temporary organization designed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model. These companies, generally newly created, are in a phase of development and research for markets.

The term became popular internationally during the dot-com bubble when a great number of dot-com companies were founded.

A critical task in setting up a business is to conduct research in order to validate, assess and develop the ideas or business concepts in addition to opportunities to establish further and deeper understanding on the ideas or business concepts as well as their commercial potential

What is An Angel Investor?

An angel investor or angel (also known as a business angel or informal investor or angel funder) is an affluent individual who provides capital for a business start-up, usually in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity.

A small but increasing number of angel investors organize themselves into angel groups or angel networks to share research and pool their investment capital, as well as to provide advice to their portfolio companies.

What is Crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people, typically via the internet.

The top crowdfunding websites include:

• RocketHub - The site boasts a 3-step simple process to upload your disability product project.
• Razoo - Claiming to have raised more than $97,000,000 for thousands of worthy causes, Razoo is a fundraiser web site to seek help from.
• GoFundMe - If you're looking to just raise money online, for a cause, or for yourself even, GoFundMe is the best fundraising option you can use.
• Kickstarter - Probably the most well known crowdfunding site on the Internet, Kickstarter raised a total of $220 million from 61,000 launched projects so far.
• Crowdfunding Legal Expenses Such as Litigation, Court or Trial Defense - Useful information relating to crowdfunding legal expenses such as litigation, court or trial costs.
• Indiegogo - Indie is the short form of 'independence', so from the name you already know that this crowdfunding site is aimed to help you raise funds for your personal project.
• Crowdfunder - Let an Angel Investor fund your company. Crowdfunder allows U.S. startup and small businesses to raise funds by selling equity, debt and revenue-based securities, while attracting Angel Investors and Venture Capital to your company.
