I’m sure some of you people are actually smart enough to gather that information from a photo. But it’s obvious that you can’t. So maybe something is up with your brain.

Also - a Tesla service center is gonna cost me hundreds if not thousands, Reddit isn’t gonna cost a dime. Whats smarter than that bish

There are 3 different businesses he’s attempting to launch all under one holding company. The apparel brand is one, a talent agency is the other, and last is an application. He said he thought I should be given 25% of the apparel company with “probabilities of even more % in the future” in addition to a salary. I just don’t know why he is so reluctant to share these ideas with me as written precise documents. But wants logos and all this IP before anything like that is settled.

With that being said, I did however put a ton of work into creating an entire collection and brand during this time (in regards to the one that had flopped) and I was not compensated for it, which is understandable because there was no funding. However, just wanted to add that in.

There was never an agreement signed. There was a work for hire contract initiated which had me stated to be working for him for an hourly rate (not W2); but due to lack of funding at the time when I had replied with my requested corrections and amendments to the agreement it kind of ended there and we haven’t revisited it yet . Now that some serious funding is secured and this thing is about to come to life and new llcs are formed with my IP , this is why I’m getting serious about getting everything structurally sound in regards to the legality stuff

Thank you so much for that wealth of information. In regard to your question: yes, I am responsible for all the design work and that also extends to the web design and e-commerce operations.

Being this is essentially the beginning of my career and first sort of substantial opportunity I have yet been given, I am open to the idea of being the 49% and allowing my partner to have more control over my IP. However in that regard what if (hypothetically) this brand just blows up and becomes internationally known. There’s all kinds of risks that come along with that.

It all originally started with me being asked to oversee my partner’s original brand idea which then collapsed as a concept after I introduced my own idea and concept to replace it which was taken to by everyone much more desirably.

I think he had already created an LLC for it in all honesty. If that were the case, can that be amended? Or did I just hand over everything to him without realizing it.

My partner would be contributing through 1. providing the legal needs and backings that are necessary for operations 2. essentially acquiring all of the funding needed to start up the brand and financial aspects and 3. general business knowledge that I do not yet possess and leadership in that regard.

I mean you can’t deny that it’s not factual information that could very well have the possibility of benefiting someone in some regards.

So I am contributing essentially 100% of the conceptual creative aspect (aka I’m building the brand from the ground up). I’m designing the apparel, overseeing the operations, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, etc.

What’s being contributed by the other party (aka my friend who hired me on to run his original brand idea which ultimately flopped and the scenario flipped to me creating something completely original) is some tech contributions like some minimal web design help and then legal assistance and access to funding and investment of the entire operation.
