comment Do investors in the US invest in international companies?
Sorry, I probably didn't put that the most tactful way possible. If this has been your experience, then that would have been difficult and I am sorry you had to experience it. I don't think it is the experience of the majority of people though and I wouldn't want a newbie to take one person's experience as a hard and fast rule of what to do when they may have a very different experience in the same situation.

comment How do I pursue funding for a vertical product?
Definitely look for an investor that has experience in your sector/industry. It's too hard a sell otherwise. Most investors only invest in sectors they know anyway.

Your accountant can answer these questions for you with regions specific information. Go and call a good accountant.

comment New business. How *exactly* does one raise VC capital, or any other startup capital?
Do a search on the site. There is heaps of stuff here to answer your question already. Once you've read it, you will have no problems narrowing down your particular question. Honestly you could (and people have) written books on this. Good luck!

comment What happens when one partner leaves the business
She already doesn't have control of the business. Can you try and you back some shares so she has majority control? Tricky with family though. This could be a mess waiting to happen.

Market research should happen BEFORE coding the website. Or else, you may build something that no one wants or that needs extensive changes
