                technically there IS a market in getting a percentage of future sales. The infamous "Will It Blend" man from Blendtech did this.

                I forgot what company it was but they couldn't afford to pay $10K for the juicer blender system. So they cut a deal with him where they only had to pay him 5 cents... for every drink sold.

                iirc he said it was the best deal he'd ever made.


                however i fully understand any reluctance you'd have. there's no guarantee they'll actually have sales or even work as a company. and you can't live on just the hope that they'll be able to pay you eventually.

                  If it was a major company and I got an ironclad contract beforehand, I would have no qualms about doing something like this.

                  However, people who continue to insist I'll be rich, and they need the sun and moon...no.

                    I told my creditors I'd someday be rich, but like me, they insist on payment now.

                      What about Skittles?

                      Will you work for Skittles? Wild Berry? Tropical?

                      OK, I will throw in some Crazy Cores and Fiizzled, but that's my final offer.

                            It's going to be as big as Bookface!

                            I presume you all have seen Clients From Hell? There's soooo many people who think that working for free now on the promise of riches later is a viable business model!
