As with any startup, the most challenging step is to gather investors for your idea. Then it's bringing that vision out of your mind and into a working prototype. So, unless you have significant funding set aside for your startup, you need to start by impressing some big-shot investors.
That said, the investors need to understand how your venture will profit them. It would be best if you were clear on your niche, the target audience, competitors, and how your idea bridges the industry's market gap.
As for your second question, the initial investment depends on the scale of your business. Since we live in the digital age, you also need to consider investing in a website or mobile application services, depending on what suits your client base.
Lastly, every startup starts with few or no clients. Your branding & marketing strategies, along with your website or app, will help establish your presence in the market, which will attract and acquire an audience. You can also hire marketing strategists in-house or outsource your marketing to top service providers in the industry. They will help curate campaigns that reflect your business values, boost brand visibility, and deliver your message to the customers across all channels.
