Thanks for taking time to help me out!

I have a marketing buddy who believes the best course of action would be to polish up an amazing presentation of mock ups and present it to some angels because the site will probably be rebuilt after receiving major funding anyway.

I've been operating under the idea that it's better to get something out as inexpensively as possible and see how people respond before getting heavily invested in the concept. That sounds like what you're advocating.
