Re: CapEx/research-heavy projects -- Interestingly enough, I'm in a pretty much the same situation, as I'm working on my science-focused startup (currently as a side project) and using the same framework for deciding between potential funding approaches. Perhaps, we should talk in private and exchange our thoughts and experiences as well as maybe consider some collaboration (especially in case if you decide to abandon your idea) - your skillset and interests are potentially a good match. :-)
