Hello,

I've a game project and have been in contact with an industry expert. He finds the project very impressive (including our past, the skilled team, the current game prototype, and the business plan). But he said I've no chance to get funded because the 80-100% profit in my business plan is too low for investors. He said investors want at least 3-5 times return of investment. Another expert, on the other hand, told me that this isn't true.

I heard there are more levels of funding (angel, seed, venture capital etc.). Is 300%-500% profit (ROI) necessary everywhere?

If the risk in my project isn't too high, aren't they satisfied with a lower ROI than 300%-500%?

The funding need is 1.8 million USD in the business plan.
