A simple rule I have for dealing with this sort of situation: I'm either a freelancer or a cofounder.

Strangely enough, saying that one line has changed a conversation from "Hey, wanna work for my startup?" to "Hey, wanna be CTO/cofounder at my startup?"

[eps]

So how many times were you a cofounder to date?

Even if his answer answer were zero, that wouldn't make the rule invalid - in fact, it sounds down right sensible to me.

Just once actually. And "founded" a few web projects ... and right now I'm starting up a small business.

There aren't a lot of cofounding opportunities when most of your time is spent doing classes at uni.
