I'm sorry, but this post boils down to: "I have a friend who's invented anti-gravity. He's reluctant to start an anti-gravity company right now. What is your advice?"

Your friend's reluctance might mean he's a lot less confident in his technology than you are. The two years of processing time it would take to come to fruition suggests to me he's right to have reservations.

I think it's closer to 'my friend has invented anti gravity; but its big and huge and clunky and extremely expensive and he is going to spend a couple years in a lab working on it before he tries to raise money. i think he could raise money instantly; how do i get people with money to look at the antigravity thing'

but maybe you are right that he is right to have reservations.
