How many of you (and I am talking to senior coders) would take this opportunity:<p>You<p>...are a senior coder that is working in a company setting right now but who has a good idea about a new product and is willing and able to develop it.<p>...would be free to develop any product you like - as long as it is related to your coding and will create first revenues in the first 18 months<p>... would be paid 80k for all your expenses. You could work from home or anywhere you like. But you will have to quit your current job. No safety net.<p>... would give up about 10-20% of your project/product to the investor.<p>... would be an active part of a community, being able to share and discuss your projects with other coders and with experts in marketing, product design etc.<p>I am evaluating this scenario for a VC. Some of the ideas sound similar to YC. But we are geographically independent and do not focus on the SF area at all.
