I think both Ying-Hui and I had the impression that the research had to be somewhat further along before any profit-minded people would fund it. But someone recently explained to me that Silicon Valley companies are often funded with much less scientific backing than this, so this week I’ve written to one venture capitalist I know, and will probably contact others. Regarding getting funding from an existing company, I don’t know much about that option.

Advice is appreciated.
