  This sounds like you want a co-founder not an employee?

    Maybe I'm a bit sleep-deprived, but wouldn't offering a large amount of equity effectively make them somewhat of a co-founder?

      Potentially! How do I go about finding one?

      If you're giving up straight equity rather than options on a vesting schedule then yes but that isn't all that common for employees.

    When I was 19 I answered an ad for an internship. I met these 2 clowns in a chinese shop where the first thing they wanted from me was to sign an NDA. They were so hyper-protective of their product idea that I still don't know what it is. The most I got out of them is that it's some sort of dating app (this was years ago IDK where they are now). I put their product on the side and talked to them about the company and this is what I learned: Q: how many employees work here A: it's just the two of us (2 founders) Q: do we already have some product A: no Q: is this a paid position A: yes (press x to doubt here) Q: how much? A: we can pay equity Q: how much investment do you have A: none Q: how much equity do you want to give me? A: how much do you want? * wtf kind of a question was that, I thought I was interviewing for an internship* Q: how is this an internship? This sounds to me like you're looking for an investor. A: some mumbojumbo about what I'll learn running a company virtually by myself Is this a common thing? Companies trying to 'hire' investors?
