Get lots of meetings and shake a lot of hands. It's hard work and takes a lot of time. You could try and shortcut this by using Seedrs or similar, but you're going to be a more compelling investment if you've refined your pitch. Inbound contacts from VCs are worth more than when you make first contact yourself, but you need presence and externally visible momentum to get those. Also consider going to the US. Money is easier to get hold of there. You could make an argument that EU investors are just more choosy, but I haven't seen any stats to indicate a higher typical return. It also helps to talk to an investor who knows the space. Maybe someone else has an easier path for you... I've done this but I don't know everything. Some days I don't know anything.
