I would definitely recommend finding someone familiar with US stuff, preferably in your country. If you are in the UK, my email is in my HN details, and I can introduce you to someone. Also, figure out what type of options, it matters.

Firstly, have you spoken to a lawyer/accountant? This is complicated enough to justify a conversation. Secondly, what type of options? IRS has a short piece about taxation on options here: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics&

I think he's only making the point that it's relatively easy to bash out something that looks like a product, do a release on several online forums and have a 'startup'. It's quite something different to have built

Slightly off subject, but when Khrushchev visited Silicon Valley in late 1950s, he was more impressed though by IBM's canteen and it's organization, than their computing systems. http://www.fastcompany.com/3037598&

Agreed, and think what it will mean for non-STEM research funding.

I agree that the outcome will take time to truly be seen, especially in startup scene. It turns out though that roughly 30% of VCs money in the UK comes from the Europe Investment Fund (as Limited Partners in their funds), which is funded b
