You must not have read the proposal?
myCoinvest is already a working product that has been in development on NEM for over a year. It is beyond proof of concept, and is already producing revenue. However, It is based in the USA where ICOs are not allowed.
If you read the proposal you will see what the funding is for. I did provide links to it. The comments on the proposal also give additional insight and clarity to questions that people have - like yourself.

See? Even you know what Shark Tank is. Apparently you don't realize that nearly everything pitched on the show gets massive investment from the audience, even if the sharks don't do a deal.

You don't think NEM should be mentioned on Shark Tank? Think it would have negative impact?

I probably should not have posted the voting addresses. I didn't think about the possibility of people voting without actually reading the proposal and asking questions. Shark Tank is just a cool tidbit of news and has nothing to do with the core of the project.
myCoinvest is already the most active group promoting NEM in the USA. And I plan to host several NEM meetups myself, by years end.

Here is a tweet made today by NEM Official Twitter.
