If you only need 2 months full-time, funding might be a bad option because getting funding often takes 2 months full-time, if not more.

I don’t know your situation, but what about credit-cards, friends, family and fools, selling the house, ebay-ing off all the stuff in the attic, selling your car, moving in with your parents, selling your kidney, getting your significant other to support you, etc? Surely there must be a way to get some cash to help you survive for a few months :D

Either way, good luck and see you at Dinner 2.0.

Our product is 85% complete, has been in development for 18 months, and needs another 6-9 months of working part time to get it ready for launch. If we had some $$$ then we could commit ourselves FT and get it ready in 2 months. Speed is of the essence and only cash or a time machine can get us there.

But you’re right. Generally, you shouldn’t need cash to get you there. We feel we need it to fast-track our product. Looking forward to Dinner2.0
