What are the pre-requisites and where do you meet investors looking to invest in startups?

You can always team up with a direct-sales merchandiser (me, for example) and do a fundraiser that will benefit both parties. You get a certain percentage of sales that you can use your startup, the merchandiser gets the traffic you drive to his/her product. Win/win! I sell affordable, stylish jewelry that people actually want, so if you're interested, hmu: https://www.chloeandisabel.com/boutique/bethanycannon

Thank you for the offer but at this point, I already have strong interest from a local VC and at this point I'm shopping to see if there are any VC's from the south of the border.

Best of luck in your venture.

Cheers.
