Na once I shut down laptop sleep
A UK-based founder is offerign me £1,000 every month to run his “Uber for Lawyers” startup as a co-founder, plus equity.
I'd be the one to build the product, hire staff as needed, manage execution, and basically carry the startup from idea to launch.
£1,000 is not tiny, but it’s also not big.
A Product Designer alone can take £600 from the first month, Brand Designer about £300, leaving the Dev just £100
Marketing can swallow the following month without a penny touching my account.
But if I follow the lean startup approach, keep things simple, and launch fast, maybe something worthwhile can come out of it.
Now the problem is this:
I don’t believe in the idea.
I highly doubt it would yield any serious profit, and most of the burden would be on me without any significant pay.
So on one hand, it looks like a possible opportunity.
From my POV it looks like wahala, cause Nigerians in the UK tends to feel like they are getting scammed at any slight loss.
The PROs:
• I can deliver the MVP within 6 weeks
• Maintaining the software would be easy for me
• Cloud services would cost less than £50
• The idea sounds interesting enough to pitch
The CONs:
• Designers can take almost all of the first month’s budget
• Real marketing would likely start from the 2nd month
• Lawyers are not an easy audience to sell to
• The founder may think £1,000/month means “you handle everything”
• Equity means nothing if the business never makes money
• I would have to devote much time to it, and won't be able to do my actual freelance Engineering work
What would you advise?
Should I take the offer and test it lean, or reject it because the risk is clearly not balanced?
@FrankEra_@sistoney67 We must not lose this guy same way we lose Henderson we either let him sign a contract and loan him out then sign an experienced GK… or tell him he’s gonna handle league cups
