You might be right, but we have the demo now anyway. The problem is that this shouldn't have been so painful for me in the first place. It's just a few months working on a cool product. They could throw me some cash to make sure I'm okay, and I'd be happy.
Their inability to be fair/competent is what's breaking me.

- rkk3 5y ago>> There's no paper work No written agreement & they are sending you cash! Wow. > The problem is that this shouldn't have been so painful for me in the first place Startups are incredibly painful, especially at the early stage. There are always exceptions, but lots of red flags to what you've described. Most importantly it doesn't sound like your team is committed... But it also seems like they lack the relevant competency in Sales, Product or Startups. You might learn a lot by going down the path you're on, but it sounds like you're going to be learning by running through walls so I would expect it to hurt.
- XE3BZiC5J4CAAx 5y agoDude. Yeah I was dumb. Whatever, I'll live.
- rkk3 5y agoI'm not sure I'd call anything you did dumb or frame it that negatively. them sending you cash without paperwork? That's more don them. The biggest risk for you is the expectation management and scope to wind it down. And I wouldn't be hard on yourself if your first try doesn't get off the ground, most startups don't. Just learn, grow and have fun.
