Ask HN: How to find investors?

5 points by avrPhreaque ↗ HN
Apparently I made an error by asking about investors/angels in my first post. I don't understand how I am supposed to go about locating such people.

I am on SSDI disability, and trying to both inmprove the world, and get myself independent again (not really worried about getting "rich" as just being able to feed myself, have a decent living situation, and paying my own medical bills).

If anyone has any suggestions, I wish to learn.

Thank you for your tier and consideration in this matter.

If you just want to make a decent wage, pay your bills, and not get rich then you aren't going to be very attractive to investors. Investors want to make money and lots of it. You might be able to find some Angels who might be interested, but even most Angels would want to be part of something bigger than just getting by.

I would say try to build something on your own, if you have time and the skills (or can build up the skills) you can make a nice living with a small business and don't have to worry about investors.

First, you need to be able to make any correspondence seem like it was written by someone who is conversant with the grammatical conventions of the language. For instance, this is a grammatically correct question:

    How do I find investors?
This is not:

    How to find investors?
Proofreading is handy too, so you don't say things like "inmprove", and so you don't accidentally say "tier" instead of "time".

I'd like to amicably encourage you to proofread what you write. Grammar aside, both this post and your previous post were filled with spelling errors. If you don't take the time to write clearly, how can you expect others to take the time to listen to you?

Please point out some spelling errors for me so I can see where I missed them.
