What is fair compensation in a pre-funding startup when you join as an employee?

Imagine that you are about to join a startup (before raising funds) as a part-time employee.
You are paid for work (compensation is like in any existing, well-established company in the industry, but you do not have regular employee benefits covering 401 plan, no equity, no health care plan, HO equipment fee, etc.)

You hope that after raising funds, you will become a full-time employee and receive benefits.

Do you trust smart homes? Maybe you won’t after the story of how one man controlled 7k robot vacuums

I know it sounds almost cringe,

but I recently came across an article describing how someone used Claude Code to access robot vacuum devices across 24 countries and potentially observe their environments.

How do you motivate co-founders to commit with you on an idea?

I am currently working on an idea with my team. All of us have jobs and are in different locations(same time zones). We're are struggling with productivity because only two members are fully commited on building the product. The two of us came with up with the idea and we brought two members who shared interest and the vision of the idea. The two other guys will promise to do stuff and then not deliver on them. How do you motivate them to work without being intrusive to their time. And how do you make sure they not slack?

What are the best monetisation models you have seen so far?

For me, the best monetisation model is CapCut (especially that psychological side of that).

They let me use their free desktop version the whole time, so I started being dependent on them.

How to Use AI to Make Movies Better (Hint: It’s Not by Replacing Creatives)

I've been making short films for as long as I can remember. 

My first short was back in middle school, where my brother and I pretended we were in Star Wars, dueling with dowel rod lightsabers. By the time I met my co-founders, Spencer and Charlie, in college, my storytelling had (I hope) evolved well past my VFX-obsessed origin story.

We met on the set of a feel-good student short I directed last fall. But this wasn t backyard filmmaking anymore. We quickly got stuck in a hellish landscape of spreadsheets. Nobody s availability lined up, everyone was overwhelmed, and it took forever to finish the film.
