I'd recommend you to bite the bullet and work through "Programming in Scala 2E" by Odersky, Spoon and Venners. It's a pretty thorough and systematic introduction to the language and its philosophy.

It's just that I don't intend to stay with this project after the MVP stage, and don't want further commitment. Insisting on equity will make things complicated.

I am currently working full-time remotely on the MVP of an interesting start-up. I get paid relatively low fees and some equity (the discussions are on). I am doing this because I like being in 100% control of the development process and de
