Brainstorming problems for my first long term business venture i stumbled upon a contraption idea that would make multi monitor setups look seamless, it is something that already exists but i found a way to make it less noticeable and way cheaper, firstly i discarded it because i was looking for just online business due to my lack of capital, however i noticed that i can't stop thinking about it, and so i'm reconsidering it now, this is more or less my thought process, worse case scenario i learn how patenting and idea to prototype development works, best case scenario, the multi-billion company that runs a monopoly in my country in that sector buys me out, although it will take some considerable money to quick start the actual plastic molding/3D printing for it (which i don't have much of) it is way cheaper than i first assumed, i have family members who are interested in being angels investors for pretty much anything i try at this point, but i'm not sure if i trust them, i'm also considering crowdfunding, that's the situation.

Do you think that it is worth investing money you don't have into something you have no experience doing?(it's not like i will be repaying loans for the rest of my life or anything if it fails).

Edit: the only thing that turns me off right now, is that if it fails miserably, i will have to face the people who money i will have wasted/go back to having no saved money myself and nothing to show for it.
