Just perform a websearch (yahoo, google, etc) for "angel investor" and you'll come across a few sites.\n\nHere, in Canada, I'd look at: http://www.angelinvestmentnetwork.ca/home

I don't think this is the place, to look for investors. Put an add in the Wall street journal, Forbes, or the N.Y. times..You would probably have better luck there, than on Yahoo! Answers..

Start with the acquiring company.  They should be able to provide you with the info that you need.  Check their website or call them directly.  You need the investor relations department.\n\nGood luck!!

Be sure to have a strong business plan and describe what makes your business idea stand apart:\n\nAngel Capital Association (has lots of great links to angel associations) http://www.angelcapitalassociation.org\nAngel's Forum http://www.angelsforum.com \nBand of Angels http://www.bandangels.com \nCommon Angels http://www.commonangels.com \nKeiretsu Forum http://www.k4forum.com \nLaunchpad Venture Group http://www.launchpadventuregroup.com\nNew World Angels http://www.newworldangels.com \nNew York Angels http://www.newyorkangels.com \nPrairie Angels http://www.prairieangels.org (charges $125 to submit idea)\nRobin Hood Ventures http://www.robinhoodventures.com (charges $250)\n\nIf your business idea is original, it is also important that you take steps to protect your idea such as going through the process of patenting them.\n\nBusiness plan competitions also help. Jenny Lefcourt, founder of WeddingChannel.com attracted venture capitalists' attention when she presented with her partner her idea for what would become WeddingChannel.com in a business plan competition at Stanford. http://www.womenhomebusiness.com/success/lefcourt.htm A venture capitalist happened to be listening to the presentations and was impressed by the business idea.

Venture capitalists and Angel Investors really truly exist. What you need to to is go down to your local SBA office and they should be able to give you a list of them. However, to get them to invest in your company you need to have an outstanding business plan and show that you have money to front as well. They don't come easily but when they do they are "angels"!\n\nGood luck!

Just call a broker and ask to open an account

best bet is if you contact foreign embassies for trade/investor leads.

the first step would be to have your invention patented (very important ;), then just talk to companies that migh be interested, if it's really that great, and you know how to present it, it shouldn't be a problem to find investors \ngood luck!!!

By referral is the best.  If not, set up appointments and interview them and ask about their investment strategies and ethical standings.\n\nBut before any of this, read Investment for Dummies to bring yourself up to speed on investments.  You have to know the minimum before investing.
