do you know https://tokit.io/? it is a project within the SingularDTV ecosystem. the on tokit issued tokens are programmed with features and functions that allows one to manage and control ones IP’s rights, revenue, royalties and rewards.

maybe this could be an option to raise funds. but I fully agree that you shouldn't rush things in this space!

I hope this project will succeed and I really admire you for quitting your job to build utopian, respect! :-)
