I have an idea that I am confident would be popular enough to warrant exploring it further.

This project would require some development capital (20-30k is sufficient) for the term of project.

As this is the first project I've ever even thought of looking for outside funding for, I'm stuck at a point where I'm not sure what to do next!

YC is unfortunately out for me, as I'm unable to move.

What are some places/people to look at for potential funding?

What are the downfalls that I may encounter?

What are your experiences with attempting seed funding?
