Assuming OP you have a real idea here, according to you you need 10 to 15k extra to make it happen. Hell, if you save only 1k per month you'll be there in a year give or take. If it's a viable idea now it will still be so a year from now.
Work your ass off, cut back on spending in any way you can and pretty soon you'll be able to afford to launch yourself, without having to give up a share of profits to anyone else
About 3 years ago I decided to save up for an expensive international move and start a new business (in hind-site not a wise choice to initiate both simultaneously but live and learn). I took 8 days off in 2 years, saved every dollar I could, lived like a monk to cut down on spending and ended up with the cash to pull off both with extra to spare that turned out to be vital.
It's really difficult to create and grow a thriving business if you're cash-poor. I'd argue additionally that being a business owner you need to prepare for times when costs exceed income, shit happens and you need a float and the ability to live cheap to get through the initial ups and downs. Knowing how to budget and cut things down to the wire to push through is a wicked skill to have, for everyone really but for entrepreneurs it's vital.
Doubt you'll find anyone here though, would you give 5k to an anon handle on the internet with no plan or even vague idea of what said plan entails?
Assuming you're legit, wish ya good luck
