Venture capital is virtually impossible to obtain. Successful 'startups' always go 1 of 2 ways: #1 they finance themselve and take the financial hit, sort of like a garage band playing free gigs and struggling to 'make it'. #2 When the startup is FULLY FUNCTIONAL and is a PROVEN traffic generator only THEN will the investors come to gobble you up. This is my experience.

You can try angel investor groups

Business 2.0 http://money.cnn.com/2006/02/28/magazines/business2/angelinvestor/index.htm has a very good article on angel investors, what they typically look for, what kind of investments they support, etc.

You may want to go and pitch your ideas where investors gather. Here are some places where angel investors come and those looking for funding can come and pitch their business plans. Be sure to have a strong business plan and describe what makes your business idea stand apart:

If it is a really great idea...don't talk about it too much on the net. Draw up a business plan and try to talk to banks or investors about helping you out.
good luck

You can get a small business loan. Just go to one of the tellers at your bank and tell them your interested in a Small Business loan, and how to go about getting one.
