@aeric I think you must focus in the product than fundraising or maybe to do a presale, if money is the struggle you maybe need an capitalist partner but you must look for it, is hard to find.
I currently launching an app in the old Kanban driven project (we use UML with Use Cases, develop kanban busines models, create a MVP to validate) and no money is flushing since 2 years; lately I figured that the world changed most people just presale, you can take presale courses googling for it (for example I found this
https://www.softwareideas.io/the-foundation for SaaS presales)
The idea is gather true requirements and get clients before start your project.
I think that you may go for something simple like
@f0raster0 , he differentiate its system and focused on a market niche, those than people in kitchen talk in a different language than customers (I can call it an system for ethnic restaurants). One good book to gather requirements and build a value proposal is the mom test (I found so late).
Greetings!
