I see. Thanks. It's really 30-40k because the 4 months' severance includes the regular pay during the 60 day exit window.

The potential is obvious: get something off the ground in 2 months. Do you know what someone mostly new to founding a startup should do to start?

I've got ideas, I've got potential cofounders, and I can prototype MVPs, but I don't understand the landscape beyond what I remember from How To Start a Startup. So I'm just probing for any pointers you might have cause I think I'm going to actually do this.

Just fyi, you can also bootstrap with that cash, you don't have to raise (and indeed in this macroeconomic climate, raising is harder than it has been). Check out the IndieHackers podcast (also a website/forum like Reddit but I found the podcast more useful) [0], YC Startup School on Youtube [1], read the Mom Test, Lean Startup, and so on.

If you have an email or other means of contact, I'm available to discuss further.
