Typically yes, a form of lack of empathy, an inability and unwillingness to relate to people that prioritize money over their “amazing groundbreaking idea” I deal with this a lot, some clients are talking payment, equity, and other sharing right out the gate. Other clients are thanking me for working for free an hour into an intro call where that assumption wasn't warranted. And then acting like I’m not into their vision enough, when even the future % compensation hasn't been detailed, offered, or considered at all. Had a call yesterday like that where I pointed out that every founder’s idea are fairly interesting software problems and they also pay to retain me so there is competition for my time. This founder needs capital or to drop the idea until they do, like everyone else.
