do you know how much commissioning models + live2d + updates cost and what the timeline is?
do you know how much a youtube ad campaign targeted at vtuber watchers costs?
do you know what you would actually offer to the talents to get them to join, and how much it costs? and do you know how you'd profit? you need to take a cut somewhere unless you want to just perform welfare for e-girls.
do you know how much legal will cost and how much work it will take to manage the sort of people who will join a brand new probably 0view corpo?
do you know how many comparable companies with similar or more cash reserves exist? and do well?
if I had to burn $200k starting from zero, I might do the following, which will probably fail. scout 4 or 5 2views who would be entertaining enough if you removed the model and they were male, and who can actually play games, but not overlapping too much. Fund redebuts with the same personality, channel, etc. but unify a theme and upgrade models (or if they are png, give a model). Ads for debuts on Youtube.
Have reoccurring weekly events around different themes based on your members' interest, 8-16 participants, but use the core group to convince other 1-2views to join in. Hopefully one of those weekly things becomes successful enough, then try to swing it into having them at the center of a bigger event with a bunch of 1-2views, like 32-64. ads again, shill the event on forums with sockpuppets (for example, if you end up doing a fighting game tourney with girls only, or mahjong, etc., there are some places here you could shill). Use that to shill a group song or something (this will be a loss), maybe event-related merch. Repeat in a 3 month cycle. Sadly this requires actual commitment and wrangling and it would probably fail anyway. In order to keep them from leaving (since they still have the channel and stuff), you own or partially own the new funded models and do all the hard management work for events but keep the girls as frontmen. Pay a stipend.
