While I agree the combo is death, billing hourly and consulting are two different things.
Consulting with value—based fees is a fantastic way to deliberately allocate our finite time .
- paulsutter 3y agoNo consulting is always death, you’re dividing up your energy into little packets of focus and you just can’t accomplish much You can only get the value of your work over time though equity. If your impact really is large, nobody could afford to pay the net present value up front (and only a lowlife would want to damage the company by taking out cash like that)
- garrickvanburen 3y agoI think we are using the same word to reference two different things. Equity increasing in value, as has been discussed on HN multiple times, is not a guarantee - and businesses engage all kinds of other businesses for all kinds of help. There are lots of ways to structure a temporary engagement that's mutually beneficial to both parties - in the short & long term.
