"When Bell mentioned to Gardiner Hubbard and Thomas Sanders that he was working on a method of sending multiple tones on a telegraph wire using a multi-reed device, the two wealthy patrons began to financially support Bell's experiments."

"Hubbard saw great promise in the harmonic telegraph and backed Bell’s experiments. Bell, however, was more interested in transmitting the human voice. Finally, he and Hubbard worked out an agreement that Bell would devote most of his time to the harmonic telegraph but would continue developing his telephone concept."

I believe when Hubbard and Sanders invested in Bell's invention they believed this was the next step in the telegraph technology. They could see how a harmonic telegraph would be valuable and it was literally a race to see who could achieve creating a device like this. I imagine they valued the development and evolution of this technology.
Even modern times it's always about the next step in technology. What will be the next feature in telephones.

Consider the view of all the stakeholders and the relationship between each stakeholder and object
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Graham_Bell
Who were the stakeholders?
Bell mentioned to Gardiner Hubbard and Thomas Sanders that he was working on a method of sending multiple tones on a telegraph wire using a multi-reed device, the two wealthy patrons began to financially support Bell's experiments.[76] Patent matters would be handled by Hubbard's patent attorney, Anthony Pollok.[77]
77-The Telephone Patent Conspiracy of 1876
"With financial support from Sanders and Hubbard, Bell hired Thomas Watson as his assistant,[N 14] and the two of them experimented with acoustic telegraphy"."On June 2, 1875, Watson accidentally plucked one of the reeds and Bell, at the receiving end of the wire, heard the overtones of the reed; overtones that would be necessary for transmitting speech. That demonstrated to Bell that only one reed or armature was necessary, not multiple reeds"
"Bell's patent 174,465, was issued to Bell on March 7, 1876, by the U.S. Patent Office.
He had agreed to share U.S. profits with his investors Gardiner Hubbard and Thomas Sanders."
The relationship between the stakeholder and the object
Thomas Sanders and Gardiner Hubbard funded Alexander Bell's invention. Because of the financial support that led Bell to hire an assistant. This resulted in the accidental discovery which led to the creation of the first telephone.
