This project is just brilliant and it would be a waste to see it disappear. It makes life for embedded software developers so much easier, by providing a single environment that supports a wide array of target boards and IDEs.
Their quest for funding may still need a slightly different approach though. I really hope an investor can see the value of this project without the business case or profit model being spelled out exactly.

I think they should consider a Kickstarter as well - this seems to have worked for a few similar projects. Developing for embedded devices (in fact, developing C/C++ in general) is currently a complete mess. Fixing it properly will have significant knock-on value.
