So, assuming we could get the funding then if we wanted it, which approach would you guys say would give the venture itself the highest chance of success? In other words, just because we get funding doesn't mean the site will actually succeed. Would we be more likely to succeed using the lean-startup methodology or just raising as much money as we can?

Thanks for the response (and for wishing us luck) !

So I guess my question really is "what kind of money would a VC throw at a social web-startup with no code or users," assuming obviously that they liked the idea and thought it could go far? Is it realistic to hope for hundreds of thousands of dollars? And what would be the equity you'd have to give up?

I realize that a lot of these questions are very much dependent on our specific ideas and financiers. I'm just wondering, in general, how does this sort of thing usually work?
