Thank for you opinion. Factoring in the fact that Dan is quitting his current job at a big FANG with total comp in the 400-500k range (this creates a higher equity cost for him). M…

So far, no one took salary. Everyone would start having similar salaries at the same time

Albert starts hacking on a prototype project on june 2018. He works full-time on it. In march 2020, the project looks promising (made ~3000 usd) and he convinces Bob, a random guy …

Pros for choosing it were: - In europe (easier to go there) - Low cost of living - Low corporate tax rate - Good social life Cons: - There are many annoyances with doing business h…

I started a crypto trading project with a friend in March. It has been doing really well. In march of 2020, we invested modest sums of our own money (in the 50k). Today we trade ar…

Thanks for the advice. In my life I did move a few times and never experienced symptoms like this, and it definitely took me by surprise. Before moving there, we considered "just t…

One of the reasons for this whole relocation operation was to bring more of us together. But at that point I'm willing to question that, because my top priority now is to get bette…

I started a ML-based algotrading project in March by working with a flat mate in France. To this day, it has been really doing well (Our trading volume of yesterday was 1.6B usd). …

Thanks for your input. I agree with this. One thing that's not obvious is how to weigh work in the past vs work in the future (I would weigh that equally) Another thing is how to w…

It's not that big of an issue, we can all talk calmly about these things. I just want a reference point to make sure what each one suggests is not unreasonable

The disagreement is mostly between C and B, and C and D. I'm actually the only one being fine with C having as much as A and B. And I want everyone to feel the equity split is fair…

Two years ago I started a crypto trader based on machine learning (working fulltime since june 2018 on it). By the end of 2019, I had a decent prototype with good live results. In …

Very informative, thanks. I feel like I need to both cut my losses short as a co-founder and be supportive as a brother, which is a delicate thing to do.

The other guy has his own project and he is kicking ass (good coder, works a lot, interested in roughly the same topics as I am). So I doubt he would switch from his project to min…

The situation has been slowly been getting worse and worse (it has a boiling frog aspect to it). And I think that's why I put up with it for a long time. But if I compare what I ha…

I still get the feeling that he has no bad intensions of "free-riding", just that he tries but cannot deliver. That's why I'm willing to give him a chance. I agree with the "fail m…

About one year ago, I decided to start a startup with my brother. We moved into a cheap city and flatshare with my brother and another friend. The other friend is working on his ow…

I'm about to create a startup. I happen to be lucky that some of my coder/phd friends are willing to join me. We agree on almost everything (vision, equity, responsibilities) Howev…
