@Rick TurmanHi Rick I don't have a ton to add here other than the observation that any time I've ever explored the possibility of sharing equity with a contractor, AND paying them for their work (time) - there's an inherent conflict here that cannot really be resolved - my experience here is that it's a bad idea to try to accomplish both these things.I don't have much to add on your entity structure, etc. 

@Ricky Beliveau has an event coming up in Somerville with some great content.
