This question is from Bernard Golden's presentation "Top 10 Apps You Should Consider Moving to the Cloud" at our 2010 Focus Interactive Summit: Breaking Through Cloud Computing.

Using someone else's capital (money), aka Amazon, Rackspace, etc
By going to an IT consultant and receiving a consultation, then outsourcing their IT :)

Go to a VC
Use hosted services that you can access from anywhere. Google Apps (email, document storage/sharing, shared calendar, contacts, etc.), Salesforce.com (CRM and Accounting), etc. No need to invest heavily in equipment or infrastructure until your own capital can sustain it.
