Don't quit your dayjob to jump on your startup.
Even if you got a mini-check.
Not until you have full validation:
- customer feedback consolidating into one roadmap; and
- a few contracts closed (and money hit the bank)
Regardless of what the social media gurus are telling you. You are not losing anything derisking your own venture.
If you get a full funding instead, that's another story. If you have 12+ months of execution paid, then go for it.
ps: Check with legal though! They might own the IP of what you create on the side. And yes, even if it doesn't make money. IP laws are sneaky.
