From the three Fs? From a customer who wanted some playground equipment? From a crowdfunded philanthropic project that wanted to build some playgrounds? By saving up their income from previous jobs before making a go of a new company?

Basically, from the same places that the manufacturer gets their money from in order to pay dividends to the investors.

Investment banking is _a_ lubricant of industry, not _the_ lubricant, certainly not the fuel.

Wow. How much do you know about business and how long have you been around business?

Do you think that crowdfunding has replaced needing to raise capital through the legacy process of initial public offerings and also that companies that use investment bankers to not seek out a merger or acquisition of another company don't serve a purpose?

What do you think you just need millions to expand and walk into the bank or go to kickstarter?

Aren't investment bankers the ones providing money when one needs to build a new shipyard, oil rig or a power plant? It's definitely out of range of "Three Fs" or Kickstarter.
