It doesn't matter if you would like investors. You need to make investors want to own a chunk of your business so much that they'll give you a good amount of cash despite the dismal odds of failure for very early stage startups, such as yours that you say is in beta. To do that you have to paint a picture of how big this concept could get and how roughly you intend to get there. Assuming you have your pitch well formulated, then as for actual logistics of how to contact investors, typically having trusted people vouch for you is a good first step. You can contact people directly too. Do so succinctly and with an eye to why you think they in particular would be interested. Friends and family are also a typical source of very initial capital. Since at the earliest stage all anyone has to go on is how competent you are, and to some extent how compelling the concept is. People who know you are much better judges of how competent you are than are total strangers. Other startup founders you may know may also be able to provide introductions to angel investors. Prepare for it bang your head against the wall. Raising seed capital is hard and frustrating, but as they say, it's still one of the simplest things you'll do in the life of your startup.
