I'll say it again: I'm pretty sure several people here would finance your transition. With standard conditions, you should be able to raise in under a month. Think of what you could do with 100k, perhaps only diluting 5%.

Not sure if you saw it, but one of his concerns is the time debt that essentially binds him to the will of his investors if he were to take their money.

IMHO this is a very valid concern for a "lifestyle" business, if that is indeed what he intends it to be.

Investors with a minor stake don't get to boss you around or gobble up all your time.

patio11 could make $100k appear -- without strings -- by waving his Magic Product Wand, and producing 10x-20x value for his customers (at least!!), to boot.

Why, then, do you think he should take investment?

Magic (!) or investment, doesn't really matter, so long as he gets to focus on product instead of consulting.
