Thanks, i appreciate this answer a lot. A) makes sense but I am a bit worried about IP issues?

The point about the network is a great one to keep in mind.

Ask your manager for a waiver, and an invention assignment on your side-project.

It’s not a business; but a side-project (right now) — assuming it’s tech-related. If it’s a non-tech business, where you’re not generating IP, even better.
