For this particular venture there won't be a pivot. It is cut and dry. One thing and one thing only.

If the money is not needed, it becomes reserves for the corporation. Part of it might go into research.

Given the sector of this venture research of a very particular kind is required, so cushion money can be well allocated over time as needed for these research efforts.

What I want is security in a very specific form. Namely, that should things go well capital shall be plentiful and available. I do not want to worry about this.

That is the point. The gamble. I want to offer as low a risk to the investors as possible at the cost of supporting me "full force" sort-of-speak should I make significant progress within three years.

Suppose that I gave away 28% instead of 5%, where they would be required to buy 1% every year at revenue value for 4 years instead of 3.

Would that be fair?

That is certainly an option. What is unfair about my proposal?

Yes, but, if the company makes 1K revenue in the first 3 years, then then its 8% at $1K.
