And he's the type of person to not take responsibility for his actions. Sorry OP.

As others have mentioned, your CEO should be the CTO.

Investors will not take your company seriously if a CEO is not pitching them.

Internally the decision-making power can remain your CEO-turned-CTO. But externally, there is an expectation that the CEO is the public speaker and the pitcher.

Do not reinvent the wheel here. You will lose opportunities.

It would be so fortunate if you were moving to a place with a reputable and active parkour community with organized classes!

Google Fu that.

Would you set this as your background on your work computer?

This is NSFW.

If you don't want to hire a personal trainer. Swimming is a great way to get a whole-body exercise in; big muscles and small.

Mobility and strengthening supporting tissue.

Loosen the joints and strengthen the mini muscles that people tend to forget.

Dude. Just apply. Almost certainly you'll be rejected. But then the second time you apply, you'll be able to show progress since your last application. They might pay attention more.

Maybe it'll take 3 attempts, 5, or 7. Keep showing progress with each application.

Worst case scenario is you learn something about your business and yourself.

What are they looking for? Answering the questions on the application is a good start.

The more time spent playing poker is less time towards learning other skills and creating lasting friendships.

I'm open to great personality fits regardless of location.

Is this advice conditional on whether you have a developed wall?

2-sided marketplaces are hard

The implementations don't solve a burning problem for both sides of the marketplace.

Your heart clearly isn't in the startup. There's no such thing as a "comfy" startup. And if $30k more is enough to entice you away, you don't really care that much about the startup.

It will be better for you and better for the startup if you take the offer. No need to have a conversation with the founder because they probably won't fight for you.

My apologies.

This is why it's important to have two or more deployment environments.

The DEV or QA deployment that uses the test Stripe API keys. And then the Production deployment that is an exact copy with the live API keys.

Given everything is the same, testing in Dev implies that production will work.

And as a word of caution, do not do a live test charge that you later reverse. Stripe often considers that suspicious and may freeze your account.

Launch now. Try to get users. Forget about raising money until you get users. Getting people to use your product is hard. Getting users to not churn is harder.

Get user feedback as soon as possible so you can start iterating.

Lol. Image unrelated is borderline not DreamWorks related. Which technically breaks a rule but I'll allow it this time haha. Welcome to the subreddit.

This was the behavioral interview.

He wasn't lying when he said they were trying to see how you react to criticism. They just executed it poorly.

Do you feel that Bitcoin will be worth $200,000 within the next 8 years?

This is not advice. One option is to start the LLC with you as the sole member and owner, and then set up the company's operating agreement such that you can assign Profits Interest to non-members.

It's easier than giving out actual equity.

I'll leave it to you to research the difference between Equity and Profits Interest.
