Ask HN: My partner and I were offered to close our startup... ... to go work on a similar service for another startup. A little bit of background. Us: two tech co-founders. Our startup: a non-funded fashion directory service. It started as an exercise to learn new programming languages. This project isn't a money maker yet, but it helps with paying the bills. Given some money (mostly for marketing) we believe it could become big. Them: two apparently successful non-technical guys. They sold their last startup to an important player and this new project already has some funding going on. They would hire me and my friend full-time if we close our current website. Or, I could try to suggest a part-time and continue to work on my startup, maybe connecting the two if needed (since they'd like to drop some of our features - we'd keep them alive in the old website and build some kind of collaboration). Any advice? Thanks |
