I am sure someone like Bevan who has masterminded some incredible IT growth stories has discussed some of his sales strategies with the people from 3DP at length before his investment, why would he give them 5M without some clear guarantees where his investment is going to go or if he had doubts about them making any sales?

The sales will come, it will only take 1 or 2 big name clients to come onboard which 3DP can use as a reference point in future sales pitches, i know Accenture are mentioned currently and may not be far off, which would be a real feather in their cap to publicise.
