Even if you are able to get it out with the help of another developer(on contract or otherwise) it still doesnt cut it because this is just beta and there is a long way ahead for you to build a business. For this reasons, and still more, I

On the outset if you think the startup would do well, then I would suggest to join even at a 4% rate - the reason being that its better to join a more promising startup at a below market compensation rather than the other way round. One way

It seems like entrepreneurship is what you are really excited about, but medicine appeals more to your altruistic self. Clearly, you should go for entrepreneurship - also there are going to be ample opportunities in entrepreneurship to trul

The only question to ask is :How experienced is the team in converting ideas to businesses ? ...and if not then it's like someone attempting to build a car factory without knowing what a gearbox is.

What worked for us ( http://ReviewGist.com ) was what Mike suggested at http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2006/11/how_to_get_in_t.html . Essentially: Make is short, not more than a couple of sentences and relate it to something already existing

Startups are freaking hard - simply because it is very easy to screw up lots of things and any one of those could be easily fatal. You might already know that startups are hard, but in all liklihoods you won't know what 'hard' means. Value

The impact of what mark spencer has done single handedly ( afaik he hacked the original version in C by himself over a couple of months) is freaking huge. I would rank his to be the second biggest contribution to open source, just after lin

This article is very well written - might not reflect the truth of how everything HAS to be in a startup but definitely reflects how most startups end up being. Also, and as I have been lately figuring out, the reason most startups end up b

I think it might be a good idea to get a good programmer as an advisor to your startup. Give him a small stake like a percent or two and get him to verify your software outsourcing plans. I think the bigger problem here is the doubt that

Assuming it is a web startup. Build a content website on something you consider yourself good at. Try to get users, make money through adsense, put up analytics and test it out. You would learn a ton about how(and what) works on the interne

I think what you are trying to do is extremely dangerous. 'Founder' is not just a title, its also a role - that role does not exist in your startup - understand that and let her also know the same. Otherwise you will just be lying to her an
