Hi Damian,
First up, I know little or nothing about investment!
However, it occurred to me that asking for between 30-100K sends a
message that you don't really know how much you need, i.e. there is no
hard and fast business plan. Surely it would be better to ascertain more
precisely how much is needed to get you where you want to be and then
ask for it, rather than ask an amount that might convey to potential
investors that you are a little vague on this?
