The point was that it would be an awful investment, there is no quick payday here.

And the point was wrong.

The angel isn't funding them for a trip to San Diego to design a level or some other rewards being offered via the kickstart page... He's doing it for his investment back plus a return in the short term. Consulting fees. Fees to his company. A salaried position. Something.

You realize I'm not talking about some random stranger pledging 340K out of the blue through kickstart, right? I'm talking about the developers approaching an investor (perhaps a relative or even themselves) and asking him to fund the rest so they don't leave money on the table. I'd figure that would be obvious, but maybe not based on your responses.
