NamePros.Com - View Single Post - Best way to raise initial funds?

Hello,

I am starting a pretty major project here in the next few weeks, and was wondering the best way to raise funding for it? I have a full business plan, with details on how to develop the site, including methods to maintain revenue and everything, but this is the first time I am starting a project that would require more than my initial investment.

Granted, the investment would only be around $5,000 overall for the development and advertising of the site. I considered venture capital firms, but I think the investment ammount would be too low for them.

What is a good website / place to go to learn about funding?
Should I ask for more to protect against any un-expected requirements instead of asking for more later?

Thank you for your help.
