Dan Brown, Senior Director; 20 Years Exp Financial Services answered:

Hey, I will give you an answer that isn't AI generated by Chat GPT or Copilot;

Your question is incredibly vague so the answers you already have are going to be your starting point; my assumption is that you have worries about releasing too much information and someone stealing it. Its probably unfounded but I will try and answer your question.

Based on what you've said, and my experience in the sphere of data science, unless you are a competent Data Scientist, or have access to one; and you have a working prototype or algorithm, VC is not going to be the answer to your problems. Adding that to funding something an "undeveloped market" regardless of how revolutionary it is; people want at least some assurance on what they get for their investment and proof that you/your team are a safe pair of hands.

AI Solutions, especially those that utilise facial recognition or store/process data of a persons likeness are subject to significant risks and performance limitations. None of which are insurmountable if managed properly and you are aware of the impact. Think Google Gemini's Bias issues and how much capital they have access to.

If you would like some more specific help or advice, feel free to put in a call, id be happy to explore options you have for prototype development and getting this going.
