A partial answer to your question: there is an inverse Goldilocks zone for seeking funding. An idea/market/team can potentially be fundable pre-launch no-traction, and be potentially fundable post-launch post-traction, but absent extraordinary circumstances post-launch pre-traction is the kiss of death.

The app also requires a sizable upfront expense per major city (population > 100k) that is recouped about 10 days later.

For what it is worth: Many investors will assign fairly low confidence to this prediction prior to you having successfully demonstrated it 1+ times.
