Six months may feel like a long time right now, but it really is not. I would stay at the current position, get the equity (not matter how small). Use this time to prepare your startup, getting a startup making revenue is a lot more than just coding. You can start to educate yourself about how to best set up a company, talk to potential customers (email or phone). If you think this is not very interesting to do then I suggest not starting a company at all. If you still feel the same after this time then take the plunge. Reference: Worked with a lot of startups.
