Ask HN: Whats a good way to "trial" with a cofounder
I would be serving the CTO function
Last time I did a trial I did two weeks of unpaid work shipping an entire feature only to be removed suddenly from the repo :/
interested to hear the best way Personally, I wouldn't be a cofounder with anyone that I didn't already know and trust, so "trialing" one isn't something I'd do. Honestly if you don't know a person IRL I wouldn't do unpaid work like that. You're basically unprotected as a cofounder, so there's an incentive for people to be unscrupulous. Maybe make a deal to pay money into an escrow account that goes back to the company if you get signed as an official cofounder.
