I only have a few thousand dollars available. I know I can make a good working prototype for that much. The problem is I need realistically around 100k to get the initial design completed for real manufacturing plus maybe another 25k-50k to make the first “batch” of my product.
Is it realistic to even try getting an investor for that much off just a prototype?
I’d say yea but you’re alot more likely to get that same investor if you focus on building up a big waitlist and interest alongside the prototype.
