In my experience securing investment is like pulling teeth. The amount of assurances and background checks involved alone, is enough to make one's head spin and that doesn't nearly get you to the end of it. How was an outcome of "we burned all of the money and didn't deliver a single thing" not in the final draft of at least three different contracts? I spent a year searching for venture funding and it was painful. There was no oversight, or staggered milestone based deliveries? Someone just handed over $250,000? In my dreams.
