Well,

The first thing to do, in my opinion, is to develop a project plan. We
could start by answering these questions:

What is Gambas?

How far is the project development?

What still have to be done?

What/How much do you need, and how these resources will be applied?

If you have a good project and can answer these questions, I'm sure you
can get the involvement of a few companies.
