That’s a great idea! Thanks for writing about that. There are so many more options for collaboration than what’s typically talked about here on HN or in other startup forums. I don’t know why arrangements like that aren’t often talked about, but I suspect it may be something to do with the idea of a “lifestyle business” being seen as a lesser endeavour, which is not really fair.
