What do you mean by only purpose? Your room and board are covered? No debts? Nothing regular like prescriptions to pay for?

If you have no other need for the money, I don’t think it’s an issue of morality but rather efficiency. Don’t take the job - better to spend time improving the startup and finding investors.

And if you do have non-startup expenses well then this conversation is a non-starter. You need money to live. Doesn’t matter if you treat the job as only temporary.
