Fastest way to get funding for a startup with the queue of early users?


Hi there,

A founder of AI text writing assistant startup here. We have a small team of 4 experienced tech / non-tech co-founders, 70% MVP done, a unique text analysis tool based on the mix of GPT-3 and top language models, a set of tools similar to conversion.ai, but more focused on a narrow segment of the market and a queue of 45 early users (trial period).

We exhausted our small FFF (friends, fools, family) $10k budget fast and had to switch to outsourcing development (as we worked before) to survive.

The question is: we still believe that we have a great potential to create so many incredible and valuable things in the scope of this product, we implemented like 0.000000000001% of what we can.

What is the fastest way to get $25k-50k investment to expand our startup and release the first public product version? Crowdfunding? Accelerators? Private investors?

Thanks.

Revenue.

Your capital needs are so small that if you truly have 70% of an MVP done it will take less time to get to revenue than secure capital.
