[PJUG Javamail] Talent loans to startups

[Bob Dietrich]

Good question. The informal legal advice I've gotten so far is that as long
as there is a contractor relationship between the volunteer and the startup,
there shouldn't be a problem. The contractor relationship removes a lot of
restrictions.

Howdy,

I was wondering if I could get your feedback on an idea, and better yet,
your participation if it's of interest to you.

That's a neat idea.   I've pondered the idea of trying something like that
for engineer's crazy garage inventions but never got any traction.  There
are certainly enough of both people who need work and ideas that need
capitalized to make it a general win.  The key of course being can we get a
local win.  If it aint good for the startups there's no point.

The big hurdle for labor is probably going to be whether someone would lose
their unemployment for being a volunteer, or keep their unemployment because
they're getting OJT.
