Ask HN: Advices for fundraising in USA for European startup?

2 pointsby mraljover 10 years ago
Hello, I&#x27;m the co-founder of Madbraz (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;madbarz.com&#x2F;) - a personalized fitness app for bodyweight training. Bodyweight training is training without any equipment, based on exercises such as pushups, squats, running etc.<p>My first question is: what’s the best way for a European startup to raise money in the US? We’re ready to move there if necessary.<p>Secondly, can you list some good accelerators&#x2F;VCs&#x2F;Angels in the US that are operating in fitness space? How to look them up and what’s the best way to approach them?<p>Madbarz has a strong community with more than 200,000 FB fans (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.facebook.com&#x2F;Madbarz.1), and over 60,000 people on the waiting list for our app, with 400+ new signups each day. Currently we are in a closed beta, with around 1,500 users testing the app.<p>The team behind Madbarz is from Croatia (Europe), and we have users from all around the world. Up to date we’ve raised $115,000 form Traction Tribe, a Hungarian investment fund (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;traction-tribe.com&#x2F;), but we are planning to raise a new round in the 1st quarter of 2015.
