You should look at the seed stage incubators. Some of the popular ones are y-combinator, techstars, seedcamp, launchbox etc. Also theres the website kickstarter.com which does something similar. However, it is true that it is difficult to rely on angel investor. Its better to just invest your own money and get a basic setup going. Once you have the basic setup going and you start making alittle money then people will be much more interested in investing. Personally I would avoid selling equity as having 100% equity is the absolute best setup.
You may be right. But, I have to try. Because people who don't at least try, are cowards.
trying to find something that doesnt exist doesnt make you brave, it makes you foolish. you would have a better shot putting together a legitimate business plan and finding actual investors.

Not being willing to try for something a person wants is what makes someone a coward.
Angels are actual investors. They just take a bit more risk.
A legitimate business plan doesn't get you in front of investors anymore. It's all fashion now. It's all ephemeral. The submit a business plan and wait approach has gone the way of submitting a resume and waiting. It's for lame people who have no passion.

sounds to me like you have no desire to do any actual work. its kind of comical that you are trying to appear brave when you are reall the opposite and lazy.

I don't know how you can even consider talking like that when even children know you have to try before you can succeed.
I am a bit lazy and I'm glad. In the past it made me a good programmer. Many times instead of massaging data manually, I wrote code to do it for me. That helped make me a good programmer.
BTW, I'd much rather work smart than work hard. I see many fools run off half cocked because they're "hardworkers". If they would have a bit of laziness in them and take some time to think first, they would probably get farther. The point being a mix is best.
"Angels" are anything but "investors".
Ruthless gambler is far closer to the reality.
Well, I don't know if they are ruthless gamblers. But, what I'm saying is they provide funding.
I know to watch out for people trying to take advantage of others. Thx, a person can never be reminded of that too much.
