Ask HN: How would you raise $600k for a boring software co?

I want to do my own thing and I don't want to do it alone. I am happy to write boring business software with boring tech. The not wanting to work alone for a year to bootstrap makes me want to find about $600k so I can pay a designer and two other devs to work on the software with me for 12-18 months. I project I can be to 300k ARR in 3 years so 600k to kick this off doesnt seem to risky. I am certain I can find $100k with friends and family but I want the full amount to make the hires and take the leap. I explicitly don't want to build a "unicorn" I just want a healthy business building clean, safe, secure software that is doing something positive in the world (even if it is just boring business admin problems). Thoughts or ideas or how to find an angel (or two) or other avenues?
