My parents have provided seed funding. At my current burn rate, I should have an additional 12 months to build out the prototype. I'll obviously need more cash at that point to either (1) continue prototype development or (2) start manufacturing.
Is there an ideal time for crowdfunding a product like this? I'd hate to waste time on a crowdfunding campaign if my chances of funding an unfinished prototype are slim, but even just a handful of preorders would add months of runway. Or should I wait until the prototype is complete?
