🥚No money for a hardware MVP 🐔 No MVP to raise money 🐔🥚

Myself and my cofounder have been bootstrapping Pixl (HeyPixl.com), an offline modular sidekick.
We are gaining followers and even have a small community but our work on building the second prototype has been extremely slow and expensive.

We don't have an investor.

Don't know how to pitch an investor without an MVP. Also can't build an MVP without funding.

Anyone has any thoughts, comments or critics?

    ohh man. Super design. You can add the section about the use-cases of this product and create some sort of crowd funding program.

      @ankur_unitalks Thank you!

      We thought about going down that road but without a prototype all our campaign marketing material will be CGI. Not sure we can get people to spend money with no hard prototype. Any thoughts?

        Yes I feel. If you can create the video using the design tools and tell the audience what exactly use case it solve. You can easily ask them to pre-register.

        Figure out some one who can tell your story with product - that will also help you immersively to get the initial traction.

          Thats a good idea! Much appreciated!
