This sounds a lot like "I have this great idea, please build it and split the result with me 50/50". That doesn't work, sorry.

  No kidding, when will people learn ideas are a dime a dozen and mostly worthless, it's execution of an idea that's valuable. Startups need do'ers, not idea people.

    I find those "idea guys" as annoying anyone but I think you guys are being overly critical here. He's saying he'll handle part of the technical work and part of the business end. He wants to carry his weight. Sounds like doing to me.

      I have to respectfully disagree. He's saying he'll help with the front-end design and advertising. That's only the business part of it. If you don't have technical ability, you really have to put your entire idea out there in detail to get help.

        Front-end design = HTML/Javascript/CSS/graphics = business?
        • palish 19y ago
          Front end design = design what business service to offer and how it's presented. Html and anything else are implementation details.

          "Front-end design = HTML/Javascript/CSS/graphics" I'm guessing his idea of "front-end design" is actually more like "I'll mock it up in MS Paint and tell the developer what the explosions ought to sound like by making sounds with my mouth". That's usually what self-appointed business guys bring to the table, in my experience (and I've met lots of them).
