If I get 10k from one friend who has a million, 50k from another who has 5 million and maybe several 1k investments from others, it would be less painful if things fell through. One would have to be rather up-front about the incredible risk involved and have a huge amount of trust with many parties beforehand.

Can I meet your friends? My friends and family couldn't loan me $1000.

All friends listed were hypothetical. I might be able to get 10k from my closest friends and family. :-)
