I'd tell my father that chances are that you succeed are one in 20 and that unless he sees that money as investment in his son's education he probably will feel like it was a waste.
I know my family and friends don't understand odds very well so I refuse to accept money from them and go instead with professional VCs and angels who know how it works.
