I've been offered a development position in a startup. The technology is pretty cool and I think has potential. I think there is a high barrier to entry in addressing the same problem. The company has just secured round a funding and estimates there should be enough money to keep going for 12 - 18 months with the growth anticipated. I don't now these guys personally and only ever spoke to them during the interview. Would I be crazy to accept or should I be a bit more diligent?
