Why do you want investors should be your first question. Raising money means dilution and being put on a vesting schedule along with having to deal with liquidation preferences or headaches of convertible debt (see this book[1] to understand some of these terms). Second, finding investors usually takes connections. For young CS grads, easiest way would be through the university's tech commercialization office. Another would be an accelerator or incubator. Then you could reach out to mutual connections in your network to find angel investors or seed funds. Hope that helps. If you need more help feel free to contact me (my email is in my profile). Good luck!
