I am a 16.5-year-old entrepreneur with a fully developed business plan and the drive to execute immediately. My concept addresses drastically reducing the cost of daily utilities with a scalable, low-overhead solution.
I am not here to self-promote, but to seek advice on how to navigate the next step.
I have already completed the core research mapping the path from seed stage to market entry and am moving from planning to active deployment. I am fully aware of the legalities regarding my age and have the necessary custodial infrastructure ready to ensure a compliant, binding, and professional equity exchange.
My dilemma:
My goal is to find a strategic partner or angel willing to put in a micro-check ($5,000 USD) in exchange for early equity. However, I know my age is viewed as a liability, even though I see it as an asset (adaptability, aggressive learning curve, low overhead).
