I have experience with this I should say: growing without investment depends on a few factors... honestly gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.

Another perspective: maybe the core issue with growing without investment is something else entirely. Think about it like this...

I agree, and I'd like to emphasize that. The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.

The most overlooked point about growing without investment is this: Valuation methods for exits must be defined by formula; "market value" isn't enough.

Give trial work but pay for it; free trials don't bind anyone. Proven by experience.

Following. When we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.

If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later. Proven by experience.

Let me jump in. Two different issues are getting mixed up in this thread: first, the undefined scope, and second, the unclear ownership. The issue won't be resolved until both are addressed separately.

Exactly like that. Do a small three-month project before talking stocks so you see each other.

There's a common mistake people make when doing this. People defend habits, not processes. Resistance comes from there.

Valuation methods for exits must be defined by formula; "market value" isn't enough. This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

let me share my experience and if IP assignment to the company isn't written from the start it can't be colelcted later.

if you get three different answers on a topic, the question was asked wrong. i mean of course it varies if your situaion is different.
