This is actually a question on itself - HN afterall is a place for startups and "true" startups in the extremely early stages have little to no cash - what if they wanted a tech cofounder and gave you equal equity?
Or was it the case that you did need cash and wasn't in a situation to work off pure equity for a while?

- temporarely 3y ago> what if they wanted a tech cofounder and gave you equal equity? If you are looking for co-founders you state that upfront. It is basically asking for free work.
- ensignavenger 3y agoSimply putting that in the post "seeking equity-only co-founder" or similar would probably be fine.
