$10K is not serious and you're most likely going to lose it. That's not me being a jerk, that's me being realistic. Statistically about 8 out of 10 funded companies are going to fail. VC's make their money by playing the numbers. They need to get their money back from the other 2/10. You don't have that option if you're only playing with $10K. Angels are people who know this and can afford to lose the cash they put up, they do it because they love it not because they need more money. Do more research before you flush your money down the toilet.
