All of my inventions will be of great value to society. For instance, I invented something last year called a "Gotzitpro", an all-in-one tool that adjusts itself to the needs of the task. All great inventions require merging opposites. I will have the opportunity to do what I love while satisfying my creative hunger. So... will you loan me $5,000,000 to start?

Are you a prince from Nigeria?

Say, to venture forty kilometers off the main road... Or in the context of arbitrarily triggered slash knee-jerk occasions of linguistic apophenia... A vulturine significance is something I never thought of applying to it before (always took it as having a wary, "defensive" orientation):
"All along the watchtower, princes kept the view. While all the women came and went, barefoot servants too."
Faux princes perched on their cybernetic high branches, scanning the passing information traffic opportunities like birds of prey.
As if Nostradamus quatrains, the ambiguity of Dylan lyrics inviting the personal projections of varying subjective import over generations. But in the end, you know it's probably just like what " I need to molest my grown daughter" John Phillips once divulged about " Monday, Monday: " I know I wrote it, but I don't know what the hell it means, either." Impression of Jesus on a piece of toast -- "No, no, it's a rabbit or a duck!"

CC,
The idea was not arbitrarily triggered. It came at will. I find your second sentence to be good comedic relief regarding the vulturine significance. The prince analogy is somewhat acceptable but still a prince can be egotistical given his wealth. Finally, I assure you that what I am talking about is not a cognitive dissonance or comes from a faulty and inebriated mental state. Anything but.

I don't think just asking for $5 million is the best approach.
As Zinjanthropos has mentioned if you have something worthwhile then you could look towards a crowd-funding campaign however you should consider that the only time such campaigns are successful is when the person(s) campaigning have done their due diligence and created documentation in the form of forecasting, market research, prototyping and even starting it with a smaller denomination of money with trial sales etc.
Such documentation is necessary beyond just crowd-funding, if you wanted a loan from a bank or an angel investor they would want to see documentation to prove that what you suggest exists is a viable option and not just a brain fart.
