I reckon you will have to go through type 2 people before acquiring type 1 people. I just came across materials that explain the Islamic Banking system; where the risk of financing an asset is shared by the bank and the purchaser of the asset. How about bringing a micro-financing institution in the middle (perhaps one that follows this Islamic Banking system) who will pay the asset owner while betting on the startup; all the while sharing the risk with both the parties (asset owner and startup)?
