I like the premise, but at $3000/month it'd be hard to live in SF (which is a requirement). More importantly though, it appears the goal is to lock-in startups, then as they scale you make more money. For Dark, this makes total sense and is a good business model, for a new startup - it seems like an unnecessary risk.

After tax, $3000/month will get you a closet in a chinese restaurant in SF

Do you have to be in SF!?

Can we get some more info on what exactly "Dark Lang" is? A Google search yields absolutely nothing. Definitely sounds interesting though. I have a lot of ideas, and would jump at the chance to cut my salary in half in exchange for total freedom to pursue them.

Makes honor to its name :P
