Do your sales pitch at a crowdfunding website. As with any venture capitalist, write a business plan, make financial projections, make a cash burn plan and prepare a term sheet on your best offer. Crowdfunding investors don't do due diligence so start from there. If you need bigger bucks from VCs, start working on your business plan and calculating for a definite figure on how much you need.
Gambler did his homework to get VCs. Do yours. You are not a special snowflake. There are no shortcuts to success. Now, work on it.
