We are working on a software tool that has come about after discussions with a contact in our industry.

We have built a prototype and they have already managed to pre-sale to a large national tourist board. He has indicated he has interest from other interested parties in our industry (we are in travel) and is working to secure more pre-sale.

The cost of the developers to help with this is our barrier as we are working on this full time but need more resource. Does anyone have any experience on attracting investment? We have a market validated, one client in place but just need the help to grow quickly

One client but this will undoubtedly open the doors to others. Once they see one client using this, they'll seek to jump onboard as this industry is very much 'follow suit'.

We can tie them in for 24 months (that is in our agreement given the long term nature to see the usage/benefits). We 100% own the IP And can sell into other industries - already have this in the business plan for other training opportunities.

I suspect we can get live by End Feb/start March for v1 then hopefully rev generated will allow us to take on help. I also own a football ticket business that has its own team and am taking a step back from that to fully focus on this project.
