Furybank which is highly trusted by most people on here, pays 1.4% per week interest = 5.6% per month.
This is about the safest investment out there and stills pays more than you.
You won't raise any money because you are an unknown and the return doesn not justify the investment.

P.S. A scammer would promise you the world to get your isk. Only someone who is truly interested in completing the business proposal would be so anal about the dividends and profit margins.
Actually this is the wrong assumption.
Due to scams or business failures any investments promising huge returns gets the "must be a scam" response. If it is too good to be true , it usually is.
Scammers have become better trying to design what looks to be legitimate IPO's to entice the 'cagey' investor.
The market has turned from potential returns to the actual business plan and risk analysis.

Originally by: Anas Damona Thinking about the 'Dutch Auction' plan for launching an IPO, here, what do people think is a reasonable return to make this venture worth a shot?
And to the OP, you admit you will be playing EVE with a totally different character in the future, so what is to stop you from just cutting loose with the money when the characters are all sold? If I wanted to scam people this would be the perfect way to do it.
Set the rate per month and see what the market is willing to pay. You might be shocked how low people may go.
I would start the auction at say 15% per month, announce there is a hidden reserve on the bond (i.e max interest rate that you don't publish) for it to launch successfully, and see what happens.

I am struggling to understand why you are still chasing funding for this IPO so hard.
Many established players with knowledge of this market have done a pretty good job of showing the flaws in the business plan, coupled with your level of reputation it will be difficult to get funding.
If you intend to make this a secure bond, why don't you just get a loan from 1 of the banks. You will not have to make any reports, give updates or explanations on the current market, be questioned by this forum.
You just pay of the loan and everyone is happy.
You are not going to meet your investment goals by your deadline!
