To get to a production quality level usually takes years and substantial investment. However, if you have a serious plan with a clear roadmap, you simply need to document that. Investors may or may not pick up on it, based on the real merits of the idea. Where are you based? The USA? There investors are mainly interested in the intellectual property, so expect to have to sign that over. Media relations are complex. You need to analyze your product carefully and find its unique selling point. Then you need to address a way of selling that point to the media and therefore the public. For example, all of this has taken Mozilla five years.
