Or said differently, what do you bring to the table as a founder that I (as a highly talented employee) cannot immediately replicate on my own? This gap has been getting very narrow lately. - Money? Not really; if we assume I'm coder #1, the cash cost of launching a product/service is <$100,000, well within the range of many mid-career folks with savings. - Relationships? eh, Linkedin and Google can connect me with many people - most of whom would like an alternative source. - Business model idea? Oh please, it's most likely been done before in an adjacent segment and well documented; actually, I'm not interested in a model that hasn't been. - Technical / Process knowledge? um, that's why we're talking... So yeah, if your goal is to take my contribution, give me 1% equity and keep 20%, it gonna be a difficult conversation...
