"Worth my while" couldn't be reasonably computed until I knew more about your company, like:
-Anticipated viability of the company and revenue stream predictions
-Effort (in hours) that I would need to contribute to effect a positive outcome
-Financing model of the organization
-Compensation of other employees in a similar position to effect the outcome of the company
These things factor into the "risk", which affects the appropriate "reward". If I could make a major impact on your company by only needing to invest 8 hours per week, it wouldn't be a tough choice to make the decision to attempt to help out. If however it would take 20+ hours per week, then other things/tasks get requeued to make room to help with your startup, that changes what I would need/want to get out of it to make it worth my while...
- donna 19y agothanks, helpful input
- Hexstream 19y agoIf I may be so bold, it's not a chat room here. If you agree with some post and don't have anything more substantial to say, consider just upmodding it.
- loumf 19y agoUsually, yes. But donna is the OP, so I think it's ok for her to acknowledge helpful comments rather than anonymously upmoddng.
- rms 19y agoAnd this thread is bringing out a behavior on news.yc that I really don't like -- people downmodding recent comments of the OP because they're mad they can't downmod the post.
- Hexstream 19y agoDo you think the fault lies in the practitioners, the system, or both? (This is not a rhetoric question.) And how do you know those downvotes have all to do with the submission and nothing with the comments themselves? Personally I downmodded for lack of relevance.
