Pretty good advice so far regarding working arrangements. After pursuing a startup idea for 3+ years and having it not work out, I would also encourage you to question why it is that you need 6 months before getting an initial customer. Learn quickly and fail as fast as possible. 1) Can you pitch your idea to customers first to gauge their interest, get initial feedback before building? 2) Can you presell customers, get something like a letter of intent signed?
