You're beginning early, good for you, but since you're youg and with no previous projects it's not going to make people jump from their seats to give you money.
Yes it does. New, young, inexperienced guy and already asking for money without showing any achievements.
I wouldn't hire you if you came to my home asking if you can cut my lawn. I'd have to see your gear first and I'd know if you're for real or full of shit.
How much do you need? Are you trying to start a casino with only a few hundred bucks of your own money? As an investor, I'd expect the owner to have at least 50% of the total budget. If you came to me asking for it all I'd offer you a beer and walk you out the door.
