Where, pray tell, do they get the money? This is made even worse by jurisdictions where employers can claim rights over side projects.

- 127001brewer 14y agoHow much money does anyone need to start these days? Are you referring to a manufacturing business that requires initial significant funding for machines and supplies?
- icedchai 14y agoStarting an online business is cheaper than ever. Beyond that, you live below your means for a couple years and save up the money. And, about side projects: work on them on your own time, on your own equipment, and don't compete with your employer. (And most importantly, don't brag to your coworkers about your moonlighting ventures.)

- mindcrime 14y agoWhere, pray tell, do they get the money? Their salary from a $DAYJOB? This is made even worse by jurisdictions where employers can claim rights over side projects. Pay the couple of hundred bucks to have a lawyer review your current employment agreements vis-a-vis "Intellectual Property" and let you know where you stand. If your employer has grounds to claim your independent work, negotiate a new agreement. If they won't negotiate, find a new job. Or quit and consult part time, or work as a short-order cook or barista while doing your startup... I doubt O'Malley's Irish Pub is interested in your startup's IP.
