The agreement is signed, just nothing kicks in until we hit our goal. Well, beyond them funding the prototype, that is.
If we were to somehow land exactly on our goal, your contribution to the development budget is effectively doubled-and-then-some by 505. But their contribution is fixed, so anything after that for stretch goals is not matched.
It's a complicated-ish deal, but it's very progressive. I really don't think anything like this has been done before, and it's really a testament to 505's management that they were open to it at all.
That, and we paid a lot for the best lawyer in the industry.
