I am writing this post because, people scream investor as if getting one to support your idea is as easy as grocery shopping.

I don't know any investor who drops money on just a thought.Where is your prototype?Are you already earning money on your idea? Wade 1 million, mentioned some questions that an investor might also ask.

My research into investors' also taught me, they expect more control, they would want 65-70% ownership I know at least for businesses. I am not sure how they work on products.

I hired Davison, to build the prototype, and only paid them a portion of what they are asking for. Without the prototype where I can even show the investor what it will look like in stores.They will laugh at me and send me packing.

Maybe, some people in this forums dealt with investors, or are investors themselves, and can shed more light on the topic
