I honestly don't know if I can depend on him or not, if it's any indicator of dependability, he had around a 2.8 GPA in College and he wasn't really doing any side-projects. His main ordeal would probably be his job, as he has a full-time job as a System Admin. If I judge his dependability based on that then it's shit. I think I'll ask him why he wants to do this and if he's honest about that his response will tell me whether he's dependable.

Him watching the Social Network and being motivated from that is slightly worrisome to me as well, but it was a movie that even with it being mostly fictitious, it still showed the possibility of success in Silicon Valley.

Everything you've said on this post leads to a big, flashing, neon sign saying "DON'T DO IT, MAN".

It's your own choice, but if you can't depend on him, doesn't have the skills in the areas he'd need to have, and seemingly wants to muscle in because he's watched a movie, then I think it's probably better if you find a way to decline without being too rude about it.

Maybe help brainstorm his own idea he can run with, if only to be supportive?
