I agree with @tom's sentiment here. Though I would like to add something, just as a note to you. If you have 'investors' that are interested in those estimates, you should probably rethink the wisdom of doing business with them.

The portion of your post that indicated that potential investors were interested in the numbers threw a red flag up for me.

I think it's just informal interest. One of our founders has a lot of VC friends/ex-colleagues and he just wants to be ready for our launch in a few weeks. We won't be raising money that early, but it seems like he can talk to some people and get us on their radar earlier than normal (so they know us (and we know them) for when we are ready).

I'm willing to defer to the business-founder with experience on this matter.

If he wants to make up numbers now instead of waiting a few weeks and getting real (ie. dissapointing) numbers, that's bullshit radar material.
