I think exorbitant is a valid word for it. yes, it is the actual cost of the manufacturing run, but expecting to raise that full amount via crowd funding rather than seeking any traditional investors qualifies it as exorbitant.

Does it state anywhere that this is the full amount required? Maybe they need this amount for the finances to work to push it forward and eventually seek additional funding.
