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:
Angel Capital Association http://www.angelcapitalassociation.org - This is the best resource in the USA as they are the association of angel investors and represents the biggest angel investor groups in each area
Other groups include:
Angel's Forum http://www.angelsforum.com
Band of Angels http://www.bandangels.com
Common Angels http://www.commonangels.com
Keiretsu Forum http://www.k4forum.com
Launchpad Venture Group http://www.launchpadventuregroup.com
New World Angels http://www.newworldangels.com

You will be much better off using a local angel investor. I've used an Angel, and been one 3 times. Try contacting the local Small Business Development Center (SBDC) office ... they will know who the local Angels are.

Ray, check out the following website http://www.moneyfindersinc.com/.
Look under "About Us" and then "Advisory Board". Contact Fritz Spademan and use my name. Be sure to have your intention and purpose clear before making the call. Fritz will want to know the details of what you're up to.
Declare your outcome too.

V-Finance is a good one. Post your business plan there, and help comes out from the woodworks.
One caveat... be mindful of those that can tell you they want to grow your business to sell it. They end up taking your money and you end up with little or NOTHING in return...
