Ask HN: What equity percentage for a co-founder joining after de-risking?5 points·by curioustechie·17 anni fa·15 comments
curioustechie·17 anni fa·discussSorry, I was being overly cagey.As you correctly point out, the business has no customers. Wouldn't it be a less risky proposition if it had commitments from potential high-value customers?(N.B. I said "less risky", not "risk-free".)
curioustechie·17 anni fa·discuss> As I can see there is no software and no revenue/customers.Wouldn't changing one of those "no"s to "n potential" make the venture less risky?
curioustechie·17 anni fa·discussThanks for pointing out this option, it's one I hadn't fully thought through.Could you explain what about the scenario makes you say that Alice sounds like a first employee rather than a co-founder?
