Relocation: Where to find potential investors to an early stage startup, being a foreign and living in a third world country?

Assaf Ben-David, Mentor, Entrepreneur, Lawyer, Public Speaker answered:

Hi,
If you have a good pitch deck and a decent BMC (business model canvas), "all" you need to do is start sending it to investors. There are lots of free, online lists on the internet. The problem isn't finding them, it's making sure that you send the right pitch deck, the perfect emails/contact method, and that you select the right person to send to.
You're welcome to send me your pitch deck after scheduling a call if you want my opinion and advice on how to contact investors and/or my opinion on your idea in general.

I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you. After scheduling a call, please send me some background information so that I can prepare in advance - thus giving you maximum value for your money. Take a look at the great reviews I’ve received: https://clarity.fm/assafben-david

good luck

Question

I have written an article on Medium about how hard is to hire coders in my Country:
https://medium.com/@cadu_82285/my-saga-on-hiring-developers-in-brazil-and-what-i-learned-trying-to-be-a-solo-enterpreneur-f4c818e3d4c7
I've made all the project of a website and app: the design, consulted lawyers for legal matters, translated the website for two languages other than my native. Did it all that need to be done but coding. The only thing left to be done and since i don't know how to do it, i hired third party coders to do the job.
So long story short, i spent all of money with coders that didn't deliver my product (website and app) and now im suing them (two different people...yeah im that screwed). To get my money back is a long process because the laws here are weak and justice is beyond slow. (even when both contracts that i did had good protection against what happened). So i, now, can only see this money back to my account after 4 to 5 years.
I have to start over without any money.
My question is how to get funded outside my country, how to get funded being an foreign. Where can i get reunions with people that might be interested? Is there any online place to show your project? A safe place where people show their projects for potential investors?
How to do that with other people, from other countries?
Where is the best place to find people to partner with?
My idea, now, is to present the hole project and move away from where i live to another country. Im doing all the math for costs to present, i have the pitch deck, have the marketing plan with videos that i did too.
Where to start?
