Just read a Furtune article with the title "Entrepreneurs not wanted: Research suggests hiring managers discriminate against small business founders"

What's your take?

It takes a very rare and courageous kind of individual who is a non-conformist/alpha/leader type, to meet another of the same creed, and build a trusting relationship that incorporates a new power relation.

Most "bosses" don't see any use of anything but non-threatening "workers".

I definitely would, but it would be under a subcontract with protective clauses. I think this is the prudent approach.

Entrepreneurs are itchy to do their own thing. That’s great-but it would not be at my expense if I’m the general contractor.
