Comment on Water Front Apt. in San Mateo will trade for equity in Y Combinator startup

Comments

Equity is for life. It's a bum deal to trade equity in your company for a small amount of cash, unless whoever you're selling to is a real value-add investor or advisor who can contribute more than money for the LIFE of your company, not 6 months of petty cash.

He is a real value-add investor than most of the angels :) He has sold a company, founded a couple , worked with many startups/incubators etc...

ditto...I have met Freeman, he is a good guy, and he's been through the startup grind and is entrepreneur-friendly.

The area around his apartment is walking distance to a great complex with a ton of pan-asian restaurants... pho, korean, huge chinese grocery store, malaysian, chinese.

Right, well, that may be true -- however the craigslist posting really only mentions "free rent" in exchange.

A real advisor will get stock in your company in exchange for connections, advice, and an ongoing relationship that includes stock vesting.

Caveat erus.

Depends on the valuation.
