Every little bit helps, especially when talking about something as abstract. Besides, most investors do try to get as much data on the team background, market, etc in their decision process.

Of course, i don't expect software algo's to choose startups for investment (like they mostly do with stocks) any time soon.

sell first develop later is a sound strategy, especially if you are building a product/service for enterprise. Sometimes you can even get a prospect to finance the development process. However, i don't really see how you can do the same thing if building a b2c product - except through a kickstarter campaign.
