If you've got a product with paying customers, and a business plan that shows how an additional $250K in capital will bring you X% growth over Y years, you're definitely in a position to pitch to VC/Angels.

So, make some telephone calls, and set up some appointments with VC/Angels in your local area. Try to avoid the instinct to deliver the pitch over the phone; just paint the picture in broad strokes, and try to get the meeting.

Seriously: what's the problem?

Seriously: what's the problem?

Like he said, fear of rejection. It's the same thing that stops guys from asking girls out. The reality is that the worst thing that can possibly happen is that you get a big fat "no" but your brain makes it out to be much worse. Like Hamlet says: "there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
