&gt; My boss is a very experienced guy, he founded many companies<p>Forgive me for possibly appearing to attack your boss here as it&#x27;s not my intention, but do you know what happened to those companies? Without that information for all you know they went bankrupt as he kept making interns the CxO<p>As for surviving without income all I can say is don&#x27;t take debt lightly. While in my case I can only blame myself I was in debt for the majority of the past 10 years due to supplementing low income. Eventually the loans&#x2F;overdrafts&#x2F;cards stop coming and you&#x27;re dead in the water without a paddle.<p>If this company does not succeed before that point (where success is defined as the company not only being funded but much more importantly - you actually get paid) you will have gotten into debt for no reason. It&#x27;s a very risky move, one which I would never advise someone do for another person&#x27;s company unless they had a really good reason to disagree with me
