comment Start up employment - Trial period with ambugious compensation, how to evaluate?
If I may ask, was this 3 month trial totally noncommittal? Was it a verbal agreement? Asking because I am in a similar situation. I'm sure others might be too.

comment Is there an inbetween step between “a trial period” and “co-founder”?
How are these kinds of trial periods arranged? Assuming you didn't have any stake in the company at the time, did you get anything tangible (wages, money) out of the trial period? Was it all off paper and more of a verbal agreement?

Okay each team has various reasons for wanting to bring someone on. I won't spell it out for each one, hence "... and for whatever reason...".

@frenchie it's not me hedging the bets, it's more about the other teams. They've gotten decently far and for whatever reason they're seeking a technical co-founder. By the way, salary is not in discussion. It never was. The idea of contracting for hourly wages was never something I cared too much about, but the teams I'm interviewing with all suggested it. Teams from different parts of the county (u.s.) by the way.

Per my question, I would not start as co-founder. Many of the teams currently have tech resources and would not like sever all ties with their tech teams the moment I walk in. I don't blame them. A lot o these teams have made great progress without me and should absolutely protect their company.

@zuly the initial period is a trial phase. Instead of equity, wages are used provided. If everything works out, I'd step in as co-founder. You say unusual but for the few teams I'm thinking of joining, this idea was proposed from all of them.

@frenchie I agree. Can you re-read my second paragraph and let me know if that makes sense?
