If you can't get investing from them, try private investors or angel investors. Make sure you have a business plan and clearly communicate why your invention is valuable. If you can't do any of these things, join a technical company and get them to pay for your patents and inventions. They may own part or all of the invention, but you may be able to get something produced or sold this way. Lastly, why do you have no money in the first place? If you can't raise your own and invest it in your venture, potential investors might see that as a red flag. If you were to apply for a bank loan, the amount of money you're able to put into your own venture is looked at. Best of luck in funding your idea! @candace, to do that you’d first raise funds from the three F’s – friends, family and fools.
