How to start off as a founder with no network
I am M22 and I have been building startsups since college. Due to many reasons some failed while some got decent feedback.
But in my recently exited startup. There has been a pretty huge fight with my "investor" and things ended badly, had to write the company off.
This has got me wondering how should I actually proceed from now. To be honest I think I need someone experiences whom I can trust to mentor me. And I put high energy and decent experience of building things.
IAnd now I am offered to work in the core team without any salary expected to not make anything for an year ( Although the founder promises otherwise). Am genuinely not sure if this is right, if am getting cheated the 2nd time.
What is a typical journey for a core member in a start up. And more broadly what is the journey of an early entrepreneur?
