You would like to think that if they are meeting brokers, bankers, potential investors that they have some sort of carrot to dangle.

Those sorts of people don't generally Spec as much as us retailers without some additional comforts. 

Maybe as @Secondopinion mused, first part of trip to lock down some deal or at least binding intent to then go to investors with straight after hence as @kens pointed out the scaling up of production.

Be wasting time and resources at this point of which they don't have copious amounts of. 

Positive and looking better but results still needed obv.
