I agree. It would be good to have a biz partner, design partner, and technical partner to round out the team.

I think this is great. One risk to hmexx, but may actually be a good thing, is that they get the 2nd or 3rd best idea from their dev partner. Then, if there is a healthy exit, the …

What about terms? Would your ownership be participating preferred? preferred? common? In other words, would all founders be diluted equally?
