first of all, the best person to ask if he'd like to invest in my vision for a free and open digital society is Warren Buffet. while it's ultra imperative to make not only a compelling case for retrofuturism but to show tangible prototype for something beyond yet another digital asset, he's most likely to be interested in the ethos of getting back to the basics.
I would not ever want to be funded by anyone silicon valley related because there are already enough logistical issues with their financial entanglements and honestly none of them trust me for obvious reasons. however, some progress has been made in the department of "well, who's gonna hold all that money, baby?" so it's not all bad, and in fact, probably the opposite of bad, in the sense that I will NOT be doing business with JP Morgan.
