What is this referring to exactly? Administration fees for starting a company?

#3I'm wondering about how they draw the line between "give first, take later" and "don't do work unless you're getting paid for it."

Sounds like LLC formation fees, yeah.

#5I'm wondering about how they draw the line between "give first, take later" and "don't do work unless you're getting paid for it."
How I understood it:
> "give first, take later"
This was when they were looking for leads.
> "don't do work unless you're getting paid for it."
That was in the context of the product they were selling. A choice not to work on the product when there is not a customer paying you to do so. I can imagine they chose to operate like this because it is very easy to sink many hours into perfecting a product that does not have paying customers. I believe they will step away from this rule later when they have so many customers that they want to develop ahead of payments.

#6There is a bit of detail missing that I would like to understand. How to just 'talk' and give help? Do you approach people/businesses and ask if they are having any problems? Or, your aim is to just get the conversation ball rolling, hoping that it leads to the problem part without deliberation?

It might also include fees for accounting work etc. which could possibly be considered a legal fee

#8Interesting about the 50-50 split. If you talk to most people in the valley, they would probably tell you this is the worst thing you can do. That is, if you're looking from the perspective of a VC.
