Ans: Have you tested this idea with anyone yet? Potential customers, partners, vendors etc. Pl do that first and validate key assumptions. Also, after that, check if close friends and family are willing to back you monetarily. First, do a pilot and implement it. That will enhance your confidence as also those of prospective future funders. At that stage, you will find that your initial plan has undergone changes. Make sure that you're tackling a challenging problem addressing a large market with your solution that is unique and differentiated. At that time, it would be good to revise your deck and get it assessed by experienced mentors/ advisers first before going to any outside investors/ funds.

It's better to have a mentor to guide you.

Ans: Unfortunately, at the stage you are in, no external person can help you. Investors bet on entrepreneurs and want to hear directly from them, at the idea stage. They want to understand your clarity of though, execution capabilities etc.

You will have to directly pitch to the investors.

Ans: Sorry, I didn't understand your question. If you are pitching to investors for money you will have to part with equity. I'd you don't want to dilute equity at this stage, start with the corpus that you have and build a bootstrapped company. Consulting does not need to much capital anyways.

Ans: Dear , Pl. use Digital Marketing which can make the difference. As there are many individuals or agencies in the similar field , Reaching person to person doesn't seem to be effective methodology in digital marketing era. Social media can be helpful for you.
