Does anyone know where do you go to find investors to see if they might be interested in investing in your business? I'm planning to start up a new internet business which I think is pretty unique but I'm not sure how to find investors who maybe could help with marketing it and getting it known.

talk to family and friends first. If you can't convince them to give you money it will be pretty hard to convince an outside investor.

Marketing and funding are completely different issues. If you need additional funding to get your idea developed, you have a long road ahead of you. This would involve creating a business plan and a basic website (which you can do yourself), and getting in touch with another organization that can help you track down angel investors who may be interested in your deal. This is difficult because without a "prototype" funding companies will take up your time looking at your deal, but will almost never invest. Some sneaky funding companies already have "portfolio" companies they've invested in, and they're looking to you for a free education and trade secrets they can apply to their own business. This is not fair, but there is hardly anything you can do about it, since it is you that needs the funding and it is almost impossible to get a potential funder to sign a non-disclosure agreement. If, on the other hand, you've already done a substantial amount of work on the product and/or website so you can begin promoting it, there are a ton of ways to get your website "noticed". Internet marketing techniques include blogs, news/press release submission to article engines, Google Adwords, Pay-Per-Click, email marketing, co-registration including paid solo ads, Squidoo, MySpace, search engine optimization (SEO), search engine URL submission, traffic engines, safelists, white papers, free ebooks with embedded promotional info, newsletters, etc.
