Ok, now it’s clear :o) My advice: check your qualities. Find what is unique in you. Or if not unique, at least nearly impossible or too expensive to replicate. You certainly have something unique. It cannot be the idea (any idea can be replicated), but maybe you are a champion in marketing, business models, or something else which makes the difference. You must use your uniqueness both as a starter, and also as a guarantee for future success. This is how you can both start and continue without serious competitors. You must believe in you.

Then look on Meetup.com for startup and entrepreneur group in your area and start attending and mingling. There are several founder ‘dating’ meetups too.

Talk about your ideas to potential CTOs. Remember, they will have to believe in your ability to deliver. You may lack confidence at first, but the more you meet and talk, the easier it will become. Don’t be surprised if this takes 6 – 12 months.

Then try and get a demo or professional wireframes done. This is where the costs start and where the risk starts too.

Basically, take it one step at a time.

Good luck.

That’s fair. Perhaps I made it sound like I was some chump living in my parents basement with nothing but a pipe dream. That is certainly not the case but as you know starting something that you imagine going nationwide or possibly worldwide is quite different than a local small business and is quite an undertaking. Best of luck to you as well.

Ok, my initial comment was too strong. I’m starting a tech venture, with not much money (only a few savings, my family is not rich and nobody helps me), and I have no valuable contacts. Fortunately I do have tech skills. I hope I can succeed with that. You certainly have some qualities needed for entrepreneurship I don’t have. But you told us only about obstacles and nothing about what could make you successful. So what could I say ? How could anyone imagine you have any chance to create a successful tech venture while reading you post ?

I have raised a family since 18, grown two businesses locally with no help or funding from parents, family, friends or banks. I know damn well what hard work is. Starting a large tech venture is much different than a local tangible goods business. Get off your high horse because you probably got your start from your parents or family. Constructive criticism is one thing, you’re trying to be an ass and succeeded.
