I would also reinforce the github point. It is as important a point especially when you are working on a start-up idea alongside a regular day-job. Git pushes really give an indication the progress, skills, "actual work" and ideas to re-prioritize or launch. Sorry if it sounds obvious but I really feel in a resource crunched situation the best one can do is to push out as much as possible to git and take them further to push to the real world to get some real feedback! Back to the topic .... if the start-up doesn't stick on ... surely it can get a great job with a great employee!
