> The ones I personally asked all shot me down.

This has been my experience with any of my ideas, causes, or product marketing.

The most logical fits tell me to f* off in more words, and completely unpredictably random partners come out of the wood work after I just do it my way.

That kickstarter/product hunt style of lining up your marketing partners beforehand will never work for my ideas. The plan is to make a big splash for the time dimension of virality. Unfortunately, people that I think would understand my idea/cause/product, don't. And unlikely partners are completely enamored by it. This has limitations.
