This is how I imagine this kind of story would REALLY go:
"I have transmigrated to the past! My knowledge of technology ahead of time will make me rich!"
"What do you mean I cannot get the start up capital for it?! This is amazing technology, you know? You are idiots for passing on this chance!"
"Somehow, I managed to secure the funds after all! What do you mean we are running into some unforseen technical problems?! This technology will be made in some 20 years! Wait, maybe it is because we don't yet have the industrial capabilities to make it... I need more funds!"
"God, it was hell to secure more funding for the research. But I did it anyway. I feel like I'm about to go bald from stress... What do you mean it is not taking off?! In 20 years everyone will be using it... probably because the environment will be different then. The business and consumption ecosystems are not quite right. Need more funding!"
"I am dying. I feel like all the stress is going to murder me. But I did procure the funding for a very strong PR campaign! My project is finally taking off! Mwahaha- what do you mean other companies are already making similar products?!! But I protected our tech from corporate espionage- what do you mean it's impossible to protect it from those large corpos on such a big project? But the licences- fuck they have made something just different enough to not fall under our licence?!!! And they are trying to push us off the market through aggressive tactics?!"
"I have officially shaved my head bald. There were too few hairs there anyway, holding on would be pathetic. But at least we have secured a somewhat good piece of the market"
Somewhere along the way as I was writing it I realised that it unexpectedly would make for a pretty okay story. You can use it if you like.
