Questions

I have been working on bringing my first start-up to launch for the last 6 months. Our last barrier to launch is financing the development of our website. The website has been designed and is ready to be developed but we are short of the money we need to finance the development. The amount of money we need for development is roughly 1/3 of the total financing we have raised so far. I will not stop until the development has been complete but I am running out of ideas for how to raise the money to do so.

I have good news for you: generate revenue. Don't get stuck in the thinking that your only options are friends/family/fools, angels, VCs, or crowdfunding. Why not let you customers pay you to change their world, or some very small but significant part of it? If what you're building has value to them, price it and sell it to them. I am almost positive you don't need an engineer to help you get to your first paying customer, and I don't even know what industry you're serving. If you are committed, scrap your way to being a revenue-generating company.
