The fix has two steps:

1) Bring in co-founders whom raised $100m+ from VCs in companies they were in before. Also, one of those companies needed to have had an exit where it was very profitable for those VCs. Getting these co-founders is hard, but it is your fix. One of them needs to have been the CEO of the former successful exit.

2) Use $500k in capital to build the pre-launch version. Be hyper-capital efficient building the tech, for demos to investors. Bring the product working to investors along with those co-founders as part of the team.

Make sure those co-founders confirm that they think they can raise the capital in this business model.
