I personally won't sign an NDA without a non-refundable $10,000 deposit.
Not worth my time to go through those hoops. If they think their stuff is so snowflake special and need to protect it with an NDA, they can pay my fee for signing an NDA.
- tedunangst 10y agoOf the times you have proposed NDA in exchange for a fee, what were the outcomes? They pay? They walk? They waive the NDA?
- joshmanders 10y agoWalked. Apparently their idea wasn't worth $10k. Or they probably didn't think their idea was worth paying 2x hourly rate on top of the deposit. NDA's and Non-Competes both change my requirements. Without them my rates are $150/hr with 40 hours pre-paid upfront to discuss the project. When we move forward those 40 hours are credited to them. If non-compete/NDA is involved, my rate goes to $300/hr with non-refundable $10,000 deposit that does not translate to credits.
