"this is totally fine by me, because it's really interesting and fun"
The founder needs to do what he has to fund the dream while it is still amorphous. Once you've done enough consulting, hopefully you will be able to re-use some of what you've done over time, and start focusing on a single problem area and building that 'engine' - that is, if you stick around long enough for it to be realized (and dont run out of money first)

- speedplane 8y agoAgreed. If a founder is willing to be dishonest to investors, he/she are also likely to be dishonest to customers and employees. There’s a fine line between marketing fluff, which is ugly but acceptable, and outright lies, but if you feel uncomfortable, it’s likely a problem.
