My startup is currently in the "concept" stage, and I was wondering where to go from here. I have a great idea, created a few business plans, and some mockups.
 
Right now I am the only one on my team of course. I am not a programmer or anything. I want to use a web company to do my graphic design, programming, logo, etc. They're a great one stop shop and I met with them for about an hour and a half recently. Although they are expensive, I want to use them because I will not have to worry about someone quitting my team or getting caught up with other things. What are the cons to this? Will investors care? I will obviously hire programmers down the road.
 
What should I do in terms of funding? Right now I have some seed investors that I want to consider and they said they fund concepts. Should I try this?
 
Thanks in advance for feedback!

Hello Carb,

You could always consider having family and friends invest in your business. This could be monetary or even helping you to do labour stuff such as if you have a new office they could help you paint and this cuts costs for hiring someone to do so.
