Starting a startup is a great idea. However, your concerns are certainly valid. But investors will invest as long as what you’re doing is worth investing in—they generally don’t care whether you use AI or not; it’s more about the quality of your work and how much money investors can reasonably expect to make from your startup. It’s like borrowing money: investors see the value of your startup and invest with the intention of either getting their money back in full after a certain period at an agreed-upon interest rate—so-called debt securities—or acquiring shares in your startup that give them voting rights in your decisions and a certain percentage of your revenue. Either way, as soon as your startup gains value, larger investors will come on board. The value of your startup depends on how many securities you issue or on your revenue. Bottom line: Investors will generally come as long as you stick to not using AI and your work is of high quality—which I have no doubt about based on your description. Good luck with your idea.
