Way of Funding

I’ve never done anything like this in my life, nor did I ever think to become a company owner.Ironically, I’ve studied and worked for many accounting and financial institutions. Yet, all of the companies I worked for were institutions that were well established and have a cash load of money in which I organize and give investment/financial consultation.However, I’ve recently been approached by a perfect friend who is devoted to sports education. He told me that he wants to create a web application that helps sports coaches enhance their coaching skills and manage their teams better. His primary goal is to give young kids an opportunity to get some quality experience and enjoy sports recreationally and competitively. Honestly, my text does not justify his profound goal on this project.The struggle comes with gathering the funds for this project. I’m currently taking my master's degree and also supporting some health issues going on within my family. I’ve invested as much as I can, but it's not enough. A couple of other people that are on board with this idea also contributed a little bit. Most of them are freshly out of college.We are currently looking for investors through both personal and professional connections, but we have had no luck so far. Crowdfunding was also an option, but we do not have much awareness of the project to gain the amount we need.I want to ask all entrepreneurs on this page. What methods could we try to gain funding for a start-up business/project (especially with many college graduates)? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
