"Maybe the idea will interest someone, maybe someone here was thinking about the same thing but never got it started. It is what it is. What do you find "wrong" with his posting, maybe it will help clarify your criticism?"
If I'm going to toil away on a project for NO PAY (which is a huge risk), it better damn well be for a huge chunk of the profits.
I have been around many business types and have seen developers put their hard work into something with little or no payoff.
My hunch is that he offers 5% or less, which is a joke.

- rick888 16y ago"Why put down a fair post with useless comments on a "hunch that he offers 5% or less"?" Because he already stated that the co-founder gets no salary. He never mentioned the actual percentage, so it's a fair assumption.
- dshankar 16y agoRead OP: "But I 100% understand the value of a tech co-founder, and am not looking to be stingy with equity. I know I can't make it succeed on my own." Not mentioning exact equity, how do you assume 5%!?!? It is very common for cofounders at an early-stage startup to take no salary.
