I don't want to wait months for my consulting checks or wait till your run out of funding or split with your partner to not get paid. I heard it all before...
I can advise on a full setup from devs to ops to code scalability as well as marketing and promotion. My passion / experimental projects make me enough money to reject weak and non challenging offers from low budget shops and non funded businesses. So if you are not paying upfront and your project is not interesting I rather learn something new or experiment with personal projects.
Am I full of myself? (This is not an advert I am full booked ATM)
