We are working with (list companies they may have missed out on funding) already, and I know we can get even stronger people with the right funds.

I would be wary of bending the truth, investors talk...

No, I wouldnt bend the truth either. Dont say something you can't back up. I merely that you should be sure to mention any big name companies you do have relationships with.
