That was mostly a conversational opener (totally true though, haven't had a startup idea click for me so loudly since Twilio) but thank you for the advice. I'm tying a string around my finger about it.

(I don't do all that much work for startups, or at least not paid work for startups on the VC trajectory, but I'll keep that in mind as an option. It's not something I've pursued much. The biggest reason is my near-term thinking has been dominated by my upcoming marriage and none of the vendors/moving company/tax offices/etc are sending invoices denominated in shares.)
