Although the "Evolved Apes" game creators unfortunately did a runner, it seems they did prove the concept. Who knows if it would have been enough to fund development, but funds were raised.
Obviously, you've got a handle on working with/around the SEC security rules, and it seems that being non-anonymous and transparent about the development, raise process, etc. could be quite successful.
It also seems that organizing it like a raise might help, and is plausibly possible with smart contracts. E.g., we will be raising a minimum of $5 million with this raise, if we don't reach that then the sales will not complete — or, perhaps will complete at the starting value (to cover the costs of the NFT raise). So, the offer might be:
buy at minimum of $x,
sale will be completed at top bid price if sum of all top bid prices exceeds $5 million
else sales will be exercised at opening price to winning bidders
Just a start of an idea, needs work.
In any case, good luck!
