Obviously this is a response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5037694<p>If anyone from the investing side thinks that offer is a good deal, try the reverse of that:<p>You'll pay me $5000 to build the MVP of that idea you've been kicking around in your head for the last year. Once I'm done, I'm on to the next project. At this point, you'll take over and spend an additional $3000 to acquire enough users/customers for us to evaluate the project's likelihood of success. We split the resulting company 50-50, as equal co-founders.<p>I would not take the offer from the original submission, but I'm pretty serious about this one. The thing is, I have 15+ years of experience and given how efficient I am by now, I can make a good living just building people's MVP's, but 50% in every resulting company could make this so much better.<p>You can email your ideas to hn-offer@maluke.com<p>Edit: I will also consider offers with bigger initial payments but different equity splits.
So I pitch the idea to the original offer (5037694) and get buy in. Then give you the 5k. I give you 50% of my 50% and I get 25% of the resulting company for acting as the idea broker. Hmmm ;)<p>(just attempting to 'hack' this trend)
This proposition provides far less value than hmexx's.<p>I understand what you're saying about "execution" being more important than the idea - that is true, but execution also means follow through. Building an MVP and then ditching it to pursue "the next project" is not execution, that's just pure labor, which anyone can find for far cheaper on elance.
