He hasn&#x27;t presented the offer to me yet. Just wanted to know if I was interested in joining them. The offer might be that I would get stocks immediately but no salary until after so many months. He hasn&#x27;t accepted any investments yet to build the software and add value before sharing ownership.<p>But I&#x27;m on you people&#x27;s side that I don&#x27;t want to work for free. Just wanted to hear pros and cons on joining a startup and defer a potential reward. I&#x27;ve long wanted to do something of my own that I feel passionate about instead and get investors aboard early enough that I can get salary.
