Can't Get Funding Because I'm Zimbabwean

Had a startup with 10,000 users.

Paying ones, relatively profitable but I needed capital to expand and improve, hire some help so I don't have to program, post on social media, etc by myself.

Didnt want to charge more and price myself out of the market either.

And let me tell you that NO ONE will fund a Zimbabwean startup so I moved it to the U.S. but American banks will not touch me because I'm Zimbabwean which means I had to tell the investors that it's an American company now but the investment has to go into a Zimbabwean account.

So no investment.

I'm willing to work, whatever job to raise money myself instead but goddamn it everyone wants to pay with PayPal, I do not f****** have a PayPal account, I'm Zimbabwean!

Breathes*

Sorry, I was getting carried away.

Unemployment is everywhere in this country and even if you do find the job I don't feel like waking up in the morning for $200 a month before tax. That's literally not even enough to pay the rent.

What in the hell am i supposed to do?
