Although I have a number of projects in the works, this is specifically for a software startup that is aggressively seeking both sales and investment funding. The business model patent is almost filed.
The company has gained a lot of interest from potential customers and we feel it is only a matter of time before we are capitalized for launch (and regular salaries). However, for the time being, payment would be only in equity.
The product is a sort of social marketing system that has no current equivalent. NDA, non-compete and work-for-hire agreements will be required. However, stock options (and pay, when it comes) are based upon an open and transparent professional ladder which rewards participants fairly and generously.
I understand working for no cash is not idea, and that this job is not for everyone. However, this might be a great opportunity for someone with the time and skill to be part of something unusual and new.
