  I don’t know. At 19 I was at the university doing my first year and already earning £18K/year freelancing as a software engineer. So frankly there are many people who can start their own companies, but there’s a lot to learn in terms of actually working with people and choosing the right ones to build a company with, too. The fact that their party can’t be fair regarding their share is already a huge-huge red flag. Many supposedly greedy people I know wouldn’t do that simply because they have respect for the capitalism (or in other words - they know perfectly well that their words are no longer enforceable).

  That's true, I've definitely learned a lot, I guess during my time with the company I was able to cover a lot of curriculum on various topics :) It would just feel bad to me to walk away for free from something I was working on that can be tomorrow sold for couple (tens of)thousands (the value doesn't really matter in this case) for free
