Where are you? If you are in San Fran or Seattle, rumor has it that you can convince an angel investor to give you a convertible note, 20% discount at a $5mm cap without any real sales. But every where else that I have seen, your intuition is correct: friends/family. This might be a good thing, because the sales is really what proves the product. Look at the dozens of low code platforms that compete in your space (if I understand your concept). Good luck.
