Just tell the founder you're going to require more compensation to make this work. If you get a run around, walk.

Thanks, that was my response- we're setting up a meeting them & some advisors to go through what my results have been and whether that warrants additional compensation. What do you mean by "a run around"?

[icedchai]

Basically if they make excuses and are not willing to take any actual, definite action soon. "We'll look at this in a couple months." "We'll address this after you finish X." A smooth talker can stall for years.

Like we are going to "evaluate progress to determine if more compensation is needed"

Any is more than zero, which is what it would have been if you were not there.
