i am working on my own startup fulltime now and have been meeting people in the startup scene here.after a few social/startup things, a startup approached me and asked me to join their startup as a founding partner.now they definitely have interesting technology and the problem space is super cool, however, my own startup is finally starting to get some momentum in its sails coding wise.i am really torn. i love my startup, and they have interesting problems to solve.(funny how i used to worry that nobody would offer me a job after i left my fulltime job for a startup, and now somebody has during it)

Startups are like girlfriends. You may think you can juggle two, but more often than not if you try that, you'll end up with none. You just have to figure out which one makes you feel happier and devote yourself to that one. If they both do, then it's the same as neither of them winning, and you need to stop to figure out what it is you want.

It comes down to two questions in my mind.1. Is there a time to market issue with either project? In other words can your project be put on hold and still be viable if you come back to it in 6 months or a year? What about their project?2. There is the question of control? Do you want to control your own destiny or not? If you do you stick to your own project if you are okay with seeding control of some of your future directly to others you have to consider what they are sellingOnce you answer those two questions the choice should be self evident.

What about a 3rd option: consulting for them. Is that an option? This gives you the best of both worlds if you're able to do it.Honestly, w/o more info, it's hard to help. Are you full-time w/ your startup yet? Do you have a product already that is bringing in revenue? Did you accept funding?
