Startup Capital for online pricing tool and completed Video Game

Start-up

I have been a programmer for over 10 years working on side projects mainly to fill holes in productivity at home. I've recently come up with a very good idea (and twist) on finding a good price online. I'm not going to say exactly what means it is on here right now, but I've never come across a site offering this functionality. I've always been a 'deal finder' for myself and others online and the amount of time I spend looking is way to extreme for my lifestyle. I've come up with a way to streamline it, but am not sure how to go about spreading the news without having some cash to advertise. I'm just curious how I may go about possibly getting a little startup capital to get started. So you guys know my potential, do a google search for 'hexaxis', a game I wrote by myself for the PC and the PSP. There are a couple videos on youtube of it in action as well. I would also be looking to publish either version of the game but have no idea where to start with that either!

Thank you,
Tim

Tim,
Your puzzle game that you have developed has caught my attention.
I watched several YouTube.com videos of it and it looks great.
You seem like you are a do-it-yourself'er. As you said in your introduction.
Take a look at my story on Business Consultants under stories.
I think it might be a good idea to consider hiring one to help you get established.
I would be more than happy to speak to you on the financing end.
I specialize in commercial financing. You can email me at d.skolnick@skolnick-associates.com.

Best wishes for 2008.

Tim, I like CC08 answer to you. Also have another suggestion.
Look into SCORE. SCORE helps people in business (FREE). They can help you develop a Business
and Marketing Plan, both online and or in person.
SCORE is made up of volunteers and has helped many people succeed in business and establish franchises.
However SCORE does not have funds to give out. They can put you in touch with bankers.
Good luck, LUCKIEST
