As you've said, and I'll quote you directly. "Voat Is Yours"
Okay. I can even understand the investors being nervous but here's what I'd put in front of them.
Voat users create subverses and claim content based on what they want to see in an aggregate. v/niggers or v/fatpeoplehate or even v/redditisashitsiteforwankers #redditisashitsiteforwankers express views and opinions of the users and not necessarily the ownership. The ownership has sworn to leave content creation up to the users. The users have taken over the brunt of the work and will continue to do so. They'll continue, that is, until someone with money decides to turn it into another reddit. You could then present a timeline based solely on fact that the investors can check out for themselves exactly what happened to reddit and the continuing decline in membership. Explain also that this site and subverses like v/niggers and v/redditisashitsiteforwankers is a response to what happened at reddit.
I know that it takes money to run servers and grow that server base for more content but, it may need to be met with an attitude of, "Invest as is and you can remain anonymous, invest and prepare a PR statement in response or don't invest and other means of payment for those servers will be sought"
Granted there may be a more diplomatic way about it but I just can't think of one this late
