1 - keep in mind investors (good ones) typically invest on people, market and then idea. 2 - if you're not known with a track record, you need a warm reference. A VC once told me, if a founder is not able to hustle his way into getting a warm referral he is not worth my time. 3 - build a network of existing founders who have been funded and ensure they see you and your partner as something worthwhile an investors time. 4 - otherwise, traction will bring investors. Some VC have interns or junior staffers who comb the internet for the markets they want to invest in. If you're good they might just find you.
