I was only suggesting that the people who pony up the early cash get some token equity. Lets say give up 5% to enthusiastic early adopters who share your passion rather than 25% to angels. If say the $300 netted you $3,000 bonus on exit, you can have a party and celebrate the founder's good fortune. Its a win/win (founders get lower cost of capital than angel route, early adopters make some cash. Methinks we will see more of this, but only time will tell.
