l’ve just been approached by someone heading a startup offering company shares in exchange for part-time unpaid work. He’s mentioned cash won’t be paid until they’ve acquired a seed round of investment. Are these offers usually a scam in the startup world? Or is this typically normal? Thanks
I would never do that personally. Shares for virtually every startup ever should be considered worthless or like a lottery ticket.
This tells me they have no money or no access to money and want free labor.
