@rauliruegas , I hope you find that investor. Have you thought of teaming up with an established manufacturer? As an example Frank Schroder has designed an arm Soundsmith is going to make. He frequently licenses others to make his arms. They have the headaches and he collects royalties. I know Sota is thinking about making an arm but their tables are not very flexible. 9" arms only need apply. 
How did you manage to make the prototype? Tonearms are very simple devices but they can be a bear to manufacture. (unless you are making a unipivot which I know you would never do)
The extreme part is really in relation to the bearings but there is also a lot of materials science involved. But the foundation is a clever design. Give us an example of a tonearm that you wished you had designed. For me it would be the Schroder LT.
