**\[I will not promote\]**
Okay, so I'm from Brazil and have a very promising startup. Everyone I talk to, including potential investors, says it's a great idea, has a solid business plan and potential. However, when I say I'm located in Brazil, people from other countries say it's too big of a risk since we are so far away and they don't understand the legal side of my country.
I could look for an investor from my own country, however, I need 80.000 dollars, which in Brazil is waaaay more difficult to come by because of the currency's high conversion rate.
**What can I do?** I've thought about some possible workarounds:
* Sign a contract that establishes the law to be followed is from the investor's country of origin;
* Offer more equity because of the risk involved;
* Having an international manager from the start.
But even with this, it's been very tough to find someone who agrees to invest.
I know the product is not the issue. My idea is validated, I have a large list of leads, social media followers, an MVP with overwhelmingly positive feedback, and very experienced founders. I know my idea is great, but I can't find someone who both has the capital and agrees to invest in a different country.
My clients are all from other countries, my pricing is in dollars, and my branding and communication are all in english. The only thing Brazilian about my pitch are the founders (CEO, CFO, and CTO).
What else can I do? What would convince you to invest in a startup like this?
I appreciate any input.
TIA
