I want to ask a question about getting a friend to invest money but not getting involved in the business.
Got a friend to put up money but they don't want to be involved in the business
I have experience with this, gotta say: what a silent partner is depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.
Another perspective: maybe the real issue with what a silent partner is, is something else. Think about it...

Bro, lets be honest most business owners make the wrong choice in these situations. Watch out quick decisions often end in regret.

But what's the real risk? If this choice is wrong, will the business shut down? I'm saying this so you're super careful.

I have a question. People defend habits, not processes. Resistance comes from there.
Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Theres one point Im curious about. The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.
If you have questions write them; Ill answer as best I can.

Following. If IP assignment to the company isn't written from the start it can't be collected later.
This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

I'd say don't rush. Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.
I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.
Let me write how it's done in practice. Give trial work but pay for it; free trials don't bind anyone.
Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate. Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

I'll try it. Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.
Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's right. Proven by experience.
