    Let's not shoot him down so fast. Let's hear out his ideas first.

    Is this a MLM? It reads like a MLM.
    No!!!
    Just join me in the conference room of this Best Western at 7:30pm on Tuesday and I'll introduce you to the entire concept!

    Haha, love the responses and they give me a clear indication of how poorly I worded my post. At any rate, some responses that I would like to correct are about the time commitment. I stated that I'm not into the 9-5 work hours and would like to try a new venture, whatever that time commitment means. As for financial backing, what I mean to say is that I would like to find someone that would also have skin in the game and be a co-investor. I would like to find someone with complimentary skills to my own but alas as the feedback provided thus far it does not seem I will find what I am looking for on Beyond.

    Do you have an idea that can create value?

    I enjoy having sweat equity partners because I don't like to sweat.

    Seems like you were looking for helpful input, in which case you are definitely barking up the wrong tree.

    I think the input was more valuable than he thinks.

    I have previously, and likely will again, work with businesses in the startup phase. If you want input I can provide more detailed advice for the cost of coffee or beer. I'm 36% less disrespectful in person.

    Well it's really open-ended and vague.

    Are you going to make me sign an NDA?

    He'll have to draft a shareholder's agreement, first...

    Sorry! Not sorry! I really enjoy getting some mileage out of that one!

    I trust him about as far as I can throw him, so yeah, shareholder's agreement would be mandatory.

    If you don't like working 9-5 M-F I hope you like working 7-8 S-S.

    and I did not have the only say in the matter (most people just want it done ASAP and don't care about quality).

    If anything we made a better decision because we had a consensus and were all on the same page.

    The giant thing you seem to be missing here is what exactly do YOU bring to the table? You’ve made a lot of asks for someone to put in their time money and effort, but what do they get in return? If you’ve got a viable business idea, do the work, get it off the ground, and then you won’t need to solicit for business partners, the offers will come in.
