Phil Pustejovsky's team asked me for $25-40k to get started

[Chris Laughary]

Today a member of Phil's team named Chris Hall hit me up for a $25-40k upfront investment, so I'm here doing some research first. Such a partnership sounds worthy of launching a formal contract to define non-performance and to make their promised reimbursement policy enforceable. I don't have any reason to doubt their expertise at this point, but have no way to make sure they will follow through. I've also never heard of them asking anyone else to "invest" this much up front, have you?
