Well, for me (I am developer) it's important that my co-founder can raise money, can sell the product on the early stage. If it's possible, it gives motivation to code the product. So it's not about the money, but about motivation. I will have some sort of guarantee/confidence that when product is finished, at least we'll make few sales.
- scarface74 8y agoHe wasn’t offering to make the developer a cofounder or give them equity. He was just trying to hire someone. Sure if a new company was trying to get off the ground and they needed investors, I would be much more willing to invest my time for an equity stake than I would be to invest the equivalent amount of money to hire a good developer. But, a net of $6000 with no upside is not exciting to me I don’t even own the code so I could throw it out in a private [1] repo that I could use as part of my portfolio to show at an interview. [1] I wouldn’t just put it out in the open but I would want it to be something I could optionally give read access to show off my work.
