I know, dumb mistake. We were blinded by the logos "experience". Turns out the guy hasn't really done much execution in the last decade.

We have this terrible situation where our late co-founder is underperforming badly. I mean way below any expectations. But of course in our contract we don't have anything about ex…

I especially like the point number 4. A lot of our plan would be hinging on him. And if things go wrong, it would be super painful and difficult to recover. He wants to be a lead i…

Yep, you are right, we are hoping that he would bring someone in to replace him afterwards. Or at least help us find someone. And with equity he would be invested into making this …

Great points, thank you very much!

That's a great way to put it. It makes a lot of sense. Exactly what you said there must be an incentive for him to do the work and we need a way to measure it. Thank you very much …

you are right, getting to the bottom of his intentions/motivations is crucial here.

Yep, we were thinking the same thing. vesting period. Also need to think about what happens afterwards. does he have a seat on the board, how actively is he involved, any expectati…

Those are great points to consider. What happens afterwards. Thank you To give more context, we have a product with few paying customers, 1k MMR. We have been building for 1 year n…

We are in an unusual situation where a potential angel investor wants to become a temp partner. We are a pre-seed recruitment AI tech startup and he has been a CEO and director for…

Thank you for asking. We can't pay salaries and he has a lot of industry experience, seemed like a smart, go getter that said all the right things during the interviews. My deliver…

A couple of months ago we brought in a new Co founder to be the head of growth. We are a young startup with a product and a few paying customers. The new Co founder is experienced …

Auto complete in programming has been a massive improvement. I use gpt for idea bouncing. Article correction. I have been using AI to pre screen job candidates. It handles the firs…

Termination clauses - we haven't considered those yet. Sounds like a sensitive topic. Any advice on how to approach it? How do put targets in a partnership contract? And is it fair…

On paper, he does, from multinational corporations. I don't think it's his happy place. he seems better at business development and project management side.

Pretty "standard things" like non-compete clauses which would not allow me to do anything in the HR AI industry for the next year and the product would belong to the Company so I w…

I'm being asked to sign a co-founder agreement, but I'm not feeling very comfortable because, for the last 5 months, we had a product that was way beyond an MVP and so far we have …

For the people who don't have time to spend hours looking through CVs and interviewing candidates, we have created a tool that handles the initial pre-screening conversations. I us…

As entrepreneurs, we have always been struggling with interviews and getting feedback, so we decided to use AI and create a survey platform that does that for us. I'm a backend dev…

Hey! thanks for checking, much appreciated. Yep, it's really for qualitative information, open ended questions. The questions are not very different, there are extensive objectives…
