How to raise Funds ??

Just out of curiosity, how would a company or individual raise funds for a business idea.

For example - You have the next adult social media platform that will take the industry by storm, how can you get investors.

I know sites like kickstarter and gofundme are out of the question as they do not allow adult related projects.

So what options are left ??

If you any sites, individuals or businesses that can invest in adult businesses, feel free to leave a reply below.

Hope I'm not left face palming for posting this.

you could just edit it and erase the comment you made or change it so that you sound like a saint instead

- for thread removal maybe you can request an admin to do it - if possible.

Hey, do NOT take it personally, it is almost a normal banter on this forum, after all, it is called Go Fuck Yourself.... Stay, learn and enjoy ..and yes, get a bit thicker skin

...the puchline on your question is as follows...

It cost money to raise money for investment. It also depends where you are located. In most Western countries if you solicit funds for it without:

A) approved prospectus
B) thru close friends

..you are just asking for legal trouble since it is illegal just about everywhere. So convince your local venture capitalist, broker or your rich distant uncle and off you go. But first get a good lawyer and protect your yet to be developed platform, because if it is that good then everybody ( including your distant uncle) will try to steal it.

The only exeptions are sites like Kickstarter...( since it is NOT investing)

Amazing Idea - people like to share porn stuff - what they watch and what they like - just next to family photo with wife and kids! social media in adult business - amazing idea!

Just because there are no crowd funding organisations for adult does not mean there aren't people willing to invest.

I would recommend reading The Lean Startup and Traction for some ideas on how to get your business off the ground on a limited budget. Once you have some momentum it will be easier to raise capital for your project.

Everyone has their stigmas, but once they see the green they are often willing to forget about those. Perhaps investing in Trailer Park Shit Stabbers Vol.5 wouldn't be such a bad idea, if it means they could retire a little earlier.

Ideas are a dime a dozen.

The internet does not require any investment for someone to make money so the idea of needing investors to get an idea off the ground can seem pretty ludicrous.

I don't think it's fair to say you can run those companies with no money. But I do think you can get an online business off the ground with a lot less equity and risk than say a manufacturing or construction business.

If you have the idea fleshed out (very brandable name, domain purchased, mock up designs as a minimum) then go to some industry events and see if anyone will bite. If you don't try, you will never get.

GFY hats are not as nice as are GFY the headphones which you are wearing likely since you were a baby
