Yeah I know what you mean about the idea, that's why I'm working on said prototype - but I can see that now, even with a bootstrapped launch, it's gonna' need more money to get to where I want it to be and where it needs to be. My buddy and I have already built a proof-of-concept in Objective-C but now we're working on a port into JS cause the browser is where the magic is going to need to happen.

I guess I didn't phrase my question correctly - I'm thinking along the lines of this:

A) I have a prototype to show.

B) I have a business plan.

C) I don't have plane tickets, the time, or the money to spend a month raising funds in SV.

-- How do I go about acquiring the funds?

One of the most important qualities of an entrepreneur is resourcefulness. I'm not sure what your idea is or why it needs so much money, but thats a hurdle you'll have to jump yourself. Traction is most important, so find a way to get that. Start networking, and find a way to do this stuff cheap.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
