10K is a very difficult sum to "raise" because its too small for most investors to want to consider. I'd be happy to connect with you and talk about how we can break down what you are trying to accomplish with that first $10K and see if there are ways around it. The very common answer to the "how do I fund 10K" question is "An American Express." But first, I'd suggest we beat up the funding need and see if there are ways to get scrappy and make progress without it!
