What do I need to start my own 3D company?

What kind of equipment, software and manpower would I need to start my own 3D conversion company? If anyone has any information and can give me some advice, it would be greatly appreciated and I am willing to compensate if anyone can get me any contacts in the 3D industry.

first your going to need investors so you can get the right software an computers ( you can be using blender if u want to go pro) your going to need a team of skilled and enthusiastic people. Even as skilled as you. It may take a lot of work to get your first contract but you can do it.

Large amounts of money. Can't get in without knowing very well what's all about!

and an affordable renderfarm to outsource if neccessary

Need capital and lots of money. Also, a dedicated team.
