Successfully Working With Investors: Discussion Panel and AMA
summary
Four funding routes are described with concrete tradeoffs: short cashflow UA advances that start at four digits and can pay out in 2–3 days after proof of revenue; receivables-backed UA facilities with minimums like $250,000 and typical disbursement in four to eight weeks; traditional publishing deals taking two to six months of negotiation and due diligence; and equity or IP-for-investment rounds used for very early risky builds. Advice: start fundraising early, put marketing deliverables (trailers, UA) into the contract, and be brutally honest about numbers.
