Nobody wants a $100k one of a kind homebrew with poorly programmed rules, questionable reliability and serviceability. Might as well put blinking lights in a cab with a cool art package and sell it as an art piece. If you are truly making one machine, you don’t even need to license as a homebrew. Teams of experienced pinball professionals routinely fail at producing a fully coded ship ready machine in the timeline you are suggesting. You’re not looking for an investor, you’re looking for a fool.

OP
Quoted from greatwichjohn:
There is a licensed game planned & Dave Fix knows exactly that at American Pinball. The actual build start is Sept. 1, 2022 for finish date by March 2023 to go to Texas (SXSW & TPF). Not going to change my looking for $100k US Big Whale buyer of the only blinged out pinball. I plan on having a big badge with a huge whale, with 1 of 1. The artist & designer are dependent on a big whale being found.
Plan B: Mini Whales at $10k will be more like a stern pro model. Likely a home brew that already plays well with new art package. There are lots of people interested at that level. Only a small group will be selected & I will go by those who have reached out with serious interest.
Cabinets will be built here in Halifax. Might be something new for the big whale or mini whales. Time will tell. I had a nice afternoon on a bar patio Sunday, 4 draft beer for those that like a running total. My wife likely had her usual 4-6 bud cans at home.

Its not investing if there no possibility of a return on capital invested. This is asking for $100k contracted labor on a one off.

Quoted from jp1985:
From your posts it makes it seem like the bankruptcy wasn’t your fault. It may be helpful for potential investors to know how it unfolded.

What would be helpful is if this wasn’t framed as an investment and there was a binding contract that if agreed upon deliverables miss deadline there is some form of collateral.
