How should I fund my startup?

Asked by Drgrafenbergmd (390points) May 8th, 2010

I missed you Fluther, I was gone for a while because lately I have been studying many things online, and from all of this (self motivated & extracurricular) studying, I have decided that I want to start a learning2.0 website. The central function of the site is going to be helping students find curriculum quality online materials which they can then use to learn about whatever they are interested in. I would like to get teachers involved as guides for the students, and also as e-tutors. I personally am a education system defect (6 highschools a GED and on year 3 of my associates) so I feel that there is a need to empower students, by engaging them with education that they are interested in, if we are going to solve humanities problems, that is. There is a dire need for innovators in our world today. With the looming social and environmental issues, we need miracles in many forms, and I believe that this type of learning2.0 education is the key to inspiring and empowering the heros of tomorrow. Basically, this is my plan to save the world.

Now that you have an idea of my goal, how should I start turning my dream into a reality? I have a list of web2.0 tools, I have a good missions statement (save the world), now I need funding to scale this idea. What are some ways to fund this?
