First of all, I'm sorry your experience was so terrible. Glad you escaped. >... but to also have the boss read the idea proposals his students have as startup ideas and he would be the bridge to their funding. Except, he's the end of the bridge as an angel investor looking to own a huge chunk of their startup property before he prepares his elevator speeches to real angel investors. So he's looking to steal ideas and/or "fund" his students who are just learning how to code. Wow. Not that non-technical founders can't have good ideas, but on balance I'd say my dog could plan a more diabolical scheme than this dude. He sounds like he's just bad at being bad. Lack of morals only gets one so far at being evil, solid strategy is still required.
