That's a very valid point. One for the lawyers. Anyone have good advice on this front? Happy to add to post.

IANAL but some basic common sense stuff:

* Do this on your own time. Maintain separation and document as necessary

* Make sure that you did not sign anything as part of your employment agreement that claims ownership over your ideas, thoughts, inventions, data etc. outside of working hours

* Do not use any company resources

IANAL2 (but I read a lot of contracts), here are a couple more:

* Read your assignment of inventions agreement _very_ carefully. * If you live outside of California check your employment agreement for non-compete provisions.

If in doubt consult a labor lawyer. Getting qualified legal advice when starting a company is worth the money.
