Hi Theodores. We are in the process of finding and obtaining sponsors from other companies. As mentioned in the Kickstarter story, the total cost for this project is actually around $120K, and we are only using Kickstarter to cover a portion of that cost. Also, the amount of space available for advertisement is not as large as you think - adding stickers to the front portion of the fairing would increase the drag. (Notice the location of the stickers in the photo of Bluenose in the Kickstarter story)

Good luck with the sponsorship, the Kickstarter is a good way to 'Kick Start' the sponsorship conversation if you are able to get people ponying up. It must also be possible to do an event in a cycling arena and sell tickets. Manchester in the UK springs to mind. One thing about forums is that people are honest about their feelings, really useful feedback comes when things are not varnished. People might not be right, initial feelings might need to be re-adjusted. Initially I did not feel the project belonged on Kickstarter, now I think it does!!!
