> are willing to take equity in the beginning without being paid
I find it difficult to grasp how this is always casually thrown like the majority of people could but choosing not to. What's the thinking behind this? Would not there be lots of people who would love to do this if their basic necessities were somehow met?

I wish there was but like I alluded to, the pool who meet those three criteria isn't big at all. Minus any external funding or being independently wealthy, there's no way to pay potential cofounders and continue to bootstrap the business (they aren't free, have operating expenses).
- itronitron 5y agoYes, but equity-only is going to favor people with wealth which is often associated with connections (to additional sources of wealth).
