I'm writing up a business plan right now on something I think would revolutionize media consumption and the news industry. It would probably only cost $10k-20k (still working out numbers). I'm very detailed so it may take me several more days to finish a detailed 50+pg business plan

I am a 22 year old college student and have 2 years of playing "pro" poker and internet marketing. I have little experience in the news field but 2 years in in building fans and visitors plus I know how search engines and news sites work.

The problem is I have intangibles and very little in terms of being able to build software, no media or newspaper experience, and I am young. Even if my idea would cure cancer, could you see anyone investing in just an idea?
