You are in an uncomfortable but probably sustainable position bootstrapping the business by "working two jobs." If you raise a small amount of money that doesn't allow you to "bridge the gap" (i.e. replace your salary for long enough to allow you to become sustainable) you now face some very hard choices. This is a recurring topic of discussion at the bootstrapper breakfasts (http://www.bootstrapperbreakfasts.com http://www.bootstrapperbreakfasts.com). We have seen folks do better bootstrapping by "working two jobs" (or consulting and building a product). If you come on board "full time" can you consult on projects with newspapers to replace your current income? That might be an alternative that would allow you to align all of your work efforts more closely than two unrelated jobs.
