Re Adam’s job. Look’s like he’s just a developer not a manger or CTO. Salary prob in the region of £75-80k. Even start ups have to pay the high salaries that are standard in this sector. He says he’s a founder so that probably means some kind of share options to keep him loyal.
Company looks like any other startup I’ve been at. The shares in 95% of cases end up being worth fuck all when the whole thing collapses. A few blokes have fun along the way and then they’re on to the next big idea.
