Have you built a website or mobile app yet? Do that first, prove to yourself that you have the skills to build a prototype.

This phase requires almost no money, so don't worry about funding yet. Just start building things. What is confusing about starting?

This is an incredibly broad question. There are tons of different ways to start.

I'd start be reading The Lean Startup by Eric Ries.

don't build a product to attract investors. that's the _absolute_ worst way to approach products. Investors don't know shit. By the time you try and finish a product, they've already moved on. They want the new hotness -- not follow-ons. Very rarely have "me too" companies done well.

Build something you would use. Dog food it. Build your narrative. Founder/product fit, product/market fit. Find them. Test. Focus your product. Build community.
