y, you're going to need a lawyer here. I wouldn't mention anything else about it till your lawyer reviews your employee agreement and works with you to get things setup so you retain the IP until a time spelled out along with equity/revenue share. Sounds like you have a great idea, good luck executing on it. I don't envy the position you are in though so be careful. I just don't like the idea in general of collaborating with an employer on a startup. Follow up in 6 months and let us know how it's going. Good luck.
