I would try to find a local investor. I've started 3 companies and you do not want capital venture firms giving you money. Find a local businessman or company to invest. 200-500k is a very small investment. Just make sure you have an attorney look over the documents before signing anything if you find an investor. If I didn't have a law degree, I wouldn't have noticed many of the stipulations. You can get screwed pretty easily and end up only owning 30-40% of the company you worked so hard to start.

It depends on credibility.  If you are related to powerful people then a certain kind of person will invest with you.  If you are a simple 'dive in the jungle' investor, then a different type of investor might work with you.  Ask yourself if you need expertise or would you provide that yourselves?  How much money do you want to invest or are you looking for someone to come up with the whole package for you because you are a citizen?  All these questions are relevant for a private investor.  Lastly you must look into the social responsibility aspect of the equation.  Sudan is in a war zone and everyone around there is simply exploiting the place.  If you are a citizen then you have to decide to what extent you want to be socially responsible with the investment on the longer term.  You might also want to contact me and we could talk further but it would mean talking some more about yourselves!  All the best.

Yes.  The US stock markets are open to all.  And you are not restricted to the US; large brokerage houses have the capacity to buy and sell on all the free-entry exchanges around the world.\n\nYou will have to fill out US tax forms as a resident, though.  Sorry.  It's called "pay to play."

The best way to find angel investors is through personal introductions. You could try to cold-call angel groups (see below) near you, but angels will pay more attention to deals recommended by someone they respect.\n\nSome angel investors join together in syndicates. You can find groups near you through the Angel Capital Association.

The bottom line is that you will NOT be able to find a US investor who will help you start a company in Europe. That is just not going to happen, and you really shouldn't waste the next year of your life trying to find such a mythical person. But if you want to start a company closer to home, check out these two books:\n\nJohn May's "Every Business Needs an Angel" [first link] and Asheesh Advani's "Investors in your Backyard" [second link].

Certain broker/dealers are registered in foreign countries -- companies like Schwab.  Go to a large American-based stock brokerage house, get a representative, and they'll be happy to take your money.  Your biggest problem will be figuring out whether the broker is just churning your account to make money for himself.  You'll need good access to information on American stocks before you can feel secure.
