Startup Company Forums/Resources?


I'm working on starting up a new company in the US. I have a very sharp focus for the company, a good understanding of the market, a strong portfolio of unique technologies, etc. and once up and running, the company looks like it will be quite successful. (This is not a high-tech company per se.) However, there's a lot of getting from here to there in front of me.

I'm tossing this out broadly, as I'm looking for resources to help me structure things. I understand corporations and corporate structures, valuations, projections, cash flow, etc. but without extensive practical experience with something of this size, it is hard to generate the most effective and strategic package to draw investment and launch the company.

I've explored local resources (SCORE, etc) but no single resource seems to be able to fully address these needs.

I'd be interested in any range of resources you can suggest... forums, websites, perhaps even books.

A few details in relation to answers posted:

1) I don't think locating sources of financing is overly challenging and some people are already offering. Once I have a solid package, financing will be even easier - I can sell fairly well something that is complete.

2) This is a unique business where the minimum expenses are primarily intellectual property and some minimum facilities and a few small odd things. All other expenses are non-capital expenses and scale somewhat linearly. The maximum size of the business is nearly unlimited (due to the breadth of the technology and know-how coming into the company) so the constrain is internal - staffing/organizational, cashflow, etc.

By the wording of your post, it sounds like your strength is in selling. So I guess its time for you to find the right places to sell your offerings. You need to find a place were there are people with money and connections. When I joined a gamefishing club it amazed me the amount of people with really serious money. Something like this may be an option, but obviously it would have to be a really soft sell winning people over as a person first, before you win them over as a business person.

I feel you need to at first determine the key factor. Key factor is a limiting element of cost which is more or less static. Determine various aspects of cost build up by which you can maximize EBIT. Cash flow etc are less important. You may try permutation and combination process to arrive at best suitable production/operation plan and grow up therefrom.
