The only other company that I know used fan-subs for their products before they got the official license was AnimEigo, but at least Robert didn't put out their fan-sub anime to the public to make "awareness of a product" before they could get capital on it. It was more of a "We're trying out this subtitle technology we have, then we will worry about the official product. But really no one should know what we are doing behind closed doors."
