The only ethical option is to give the money back, or give it to charity/food bank.
They don't want the money back. They want to be a part of whatever I do next.

Yea the original post doesn't compute. Successful history of launching companies FFF gives 150k without a business plan, PoC, go-to-market strategy? and OP doesn't have a list of ideas worth pursuing that are better than asking HN? This is weird. If it's real, then it looks like a disaster waiting to happen
> If it's real, then it looks like a disaster waiting to happen For sure, and I forgot about domain/sector/field expertise. If you're asking HN for literally any idea, that means you're going to be jumping into a new domain with only a few weeks of "research" via Google. You can't hire a good domain expert who will help you avoid all the pitfalls with a total budget of $150k.
The easiest thing in the world is to find plausible reasons why a given startup won't succeed. Even easier is finding reasons why any startup won't succeed!

Just as easy as blowing your friends and family's money, I suppose.
