This is actually a question on itself - HN afterall is a place for startups and "true" startups in the extremely early stages have little to no cash - what if they wanted a tech cofounder and gave you equal equity?
Or was it the case that you did need cash and wasn't in a situation to work off pure equity for a while?
I wasn't aware! I searched a bit and didn't find one - would you mind sharing posts for founders please?
Thanks! Wil keep an eye out for these in the future. I didn't even know this was a thing
If you are looking for co-founders you state that upfront. It is basically asking for free work.
You also made me think how first technical cofounders hedge against being taken for a ride even if they agree to no cash compensation for the role
