I think it would be a good idea to separate your personal business from your job, unless you are very close to your boss. It may send bad signals to your boss if you are trying to get him to invest -- not only are you asking money from him, but you might be implying that you are dissatisfied with your current job, thus your venture into other territories. My advice would be to seek out a third party, but perhaps I am wrong.
Thanks eggbrain. I've also been feeling it might be wrong to present such a thing before him, but then I have to now hunt in an even darker jungle for a potential investor.
If I had enough money, I'd do this on my own (I can already do the dev part alone, but I need test gadgets, legal, accounts, etc).
You're not in America, so I'm not sure of the implications of this, but honestly there's no reason to do the legal and accounts stuff until you absolutely have to. You can avoid that until you bring on investors, co-founders, etc for the the most part, which would mean that you can do the dev part your self and avoid the legal and accounting and thus avoid the investor.

Anyway, thanks for the tip.
