He's likely an immature ISTJ in my opinion. In retrospect, as you said, I guess he didn't think he could be convinced and that's why he promised me financing so generously. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement, apollolux.

A bit surprising to me, but I'm not worried at all - in more ways than one. This startup thing is not my usual cup of tea. If I wanted to just be successful and make money, there's plenty of other things I would be doing, honestly. If it turns out that investors in general are close-minded, then I'll just do my thing in IM, make a lot of money and then finance this thing myself.
In the past, every time I've made a lot of money I've gotten depressed and bored with my business... and it was always because there was a lack of deeper purpose. If I have to make money in order to finance *this* though, then so be it.
For some reason though, maybe a bit masochistic, but I feel a need to try to do this the "conventional" way first. Even if it's just to convince myself that I have no one to rely on but myself. (and maybe my team, who seem to be great guys, each in their own way)
