Hi,
I am co-founder of a tech startup. We are currently looking to raise a seed amount.
We have recently released the beta version and have received good reviews and press coverage ( Mashable etc)
Our problem is that we are located outside US and so fund raising is not so easy. I wanted to know if there are firms which can pitch on our behalf ( on a % commission basis) in the US ?

Would crowd funding/investing
Would crowd funding/investing be an option for you? Most developed countries have several active platforms with volumes starting at 50k and up to at times 200k per round (USD/EUR). A few examples:
U.S. / global
- kickstarter and many more
Netherlands:
- crowdaboutnow
Germany:
- companisto
- seedmatch
- fundsters
- innovestment

Nobody will pitch "on your behalf" unless you hire someone that is US based. Even then, VC's/angels/incubators will want to see the CEO/founders present. However, I do believe many VCs/angels would be willing to setup a call with a firm not based in the US as long as the opportunity/business is interesting.

Obviously we are looking to hire someone who will raise the funds for us. I created the thread to check if anyone here can connect us with a firm/person who might be interested in the job. Since we are bootstrapped we can't make upfront payment.
