I’d remind myself the following: - ideas are a multiplier to execution and essentially worth nothing without the execution - a business-savvy founder who is willing to walk the walk, knock on doors, sell the product, is a multiplier to the viability of the product. - 9 out of 10 (or so) startups fail. So most likely, this one will fail. How much (calculated in hours * $100/h) am I willing to pay for one lottery ticket? A ticket which will guarantee a maximum of $? - I need to pay my rent, insurance, food, student debts and save, or I’ll be in trouble soon. - I have a limited number of heartbeats, a limited amount of cognitive resources per day. - I am asking a question on a public forum about this situation. This automatically classifies it as a non-“hell yes!” decision. - I would prefer a different arrangement but the founders are not open to what I really want. How do I feel about a career of compromise?
