Why do you need investors if you have finished your app? Shouldn't you focus on trying to generate profit instead?

Most startups are too afraid to face the reality of a real business model.

"We will start making money in 6 months" is not good enough.

At first build a park, invite tons of people and then place a lemonade stand. (if you'll place it too early you will screw your viral ratio)
.. or make lemonade and wait for your first few customers. Learn from their feedback, improve & iterate. Market to even more potential customers (just like you would have when you first build your park).
Both are valid models. In my town, there is a free water park with a REALLY expensive hot dog stand right outside.
