Sounds like all of the author's technical co-founders were getting sick of being exploited by a partner with nothing to offer but an idea

- jdvolz 16y agoI agree and I was pissed off at his tone: here's my rebuttal http://joshuavolz.com/2010/08/16/business-cofounders-are-a-dime-a-dozen/ http://joshuavolz.com/2010/08/16/business-cofounders-are-a-d...
- 9oliYQjP 16y agoBusiness people that just aren't that good will exploit you by trying to get you to work for free. Business people that are good will pay you for your work and will multiply that investment as their reward. It's amazing how often the latter is demonized (e.g., Bill Gates getting DOS for roughly $100K) and the former is held up as the ideal person to go into business with (e.g., complementary skills).
- houseabsolute 16y agoSometimes an upvote is not compliment enough. I like your style.
- techiferous 16y agoI agree. "What you business guys should be thinking about is this: what am I bringing to this business?" Yes. I think some business people way over-estimate the value of their contribution. (By the way, I found your gender-specific language a little distracting: "business guys" and "man up". Just sayin'.)
- megablast 16y agoAnd what an idea? Lets make another recruitment site. Wow. Huge. I have started to see this with all recruiters these days, where they have their own job search engines on each and every recruiter site. They all want you to make accounts as well. Genius.
