You need a sponsor like Blacktower IFG or General Atomics.  Private sponsors pay a bit better than state sponsors usually, but they’re harder to get.  

If you’re willing to go for lower bids, you can always get cash from the Middle Kingdom, but you might have to swallow a bit more of your pride than you would for one of the Western nations.

I’d tell you some of mine, but my contract prohibits disclosure.  (That’s par for the course for most sponsors that aren’t political campaigns.)
