I'm almost done creating a fastlane business, but unfortunately, I'm completely stuck at the funding part.

I created an application aimed at helping students like me. I realized that my peers and I have a big problem with procrastination and time management. We always push our assignments until the last minute. Additionally, I saw the potential of AI as a learning tool, so I developed one to become the best possible teacher and make studying easier.

I did it all myself and counted on a contact to fund me, but things didn’t go as planned.

Right now, I have no plan B and I’m completely stuck. I have no job. Because I'm 16, my parents refuse to let me take a loan or invest. They want me to give up on my business dream and become a software intern to make someone else's dream come true.

I’m not looking for a crazy amount because I already did the most expensive part—the development. I just need enough to keep the app running until it can stand on its own through ads and premium subscriptions.

Please, I need advice. I have no idea how to find the money to launch it. I just need enough to cover the bills until it’s good enough.
