From what you've written, you are at the stage where you put in "sweat equity".

Not meaning to sound harsh, but at this early stage, you're not really investable - and other than your immediate circle of "the 3F's (Friends, Family and Fools), no one is going to invest in you - until you prove that this is more than just an idea.

You need to get your first PAYING customers, and establish some numbers that would entice an Angel or other professional investor to take a closer look.

You will have to be creative (part time job, consulting, sell your car etc., etc.),as to how you survive or feed yourself until you get to the stage where you are "investible".

If I got a dollar everytime someone approached me for money for investing in their MVP - without first having proved that it is a viable business - I'd be a very, very, very rich man.

$1000 an hour?!. A fool and his money ....
Regarding your recent Kickstarter campaign, first kudos to you, and well done.

However, I'm more than a little intrigued about the mechanics of HOW you pulled that off.

More specifically - I was under the impression that Kickstarter only raised funds for companies operating (or at least based) in the US, and a few other countries (all? in the West).

How was it possible then, for a company based in Pakistan, to raise money from Kickstarter?. Were there any particular obstacles that you had to overcome?
