Almost everyone who want to invest in that project dont care your license, investors will invest in it without any documents if team will make a good perspective exchange!
The license is necessary, it is not even discussed.
Give me at least two more projects that would be so worried about their license?
To be honest, I have not seen more than one serious project that would not have a license, but I have seen several projects that were licensed not immediately, but after some time of activity.
