I'm yet another person interested in the noob side of this setup (I'm in NYC).

My assumption, based on nothing, has been that a person in my shoes would be more likely to interfere than anything else.

I am curious to hear if those with experience feel differently. Beyond wanting to help someone out, etc. are there other motivations for someone with experience to want to do this?

if the "noob" has money, domain expertise or connections to help make a new venture happen, that would probably help.
