This is an extremely dangerous response. The fact that it is at the top is disheartening, especially for this site.
The real problem is treating startup ideas differently than ideas. Ideas are like experiences. They build off of each other and the sum is greater than the parts. Not always in a literal sense either.
The fact of the matter is, the way we arrive at things isn't truly understood. But there are people who propose methodologies that may or may not work for the OP.
But you are competing with Craigslist. Not to mention the App store has no shortage of classified apps.
Posting to classified sites really isn't that difficult. For some people, sure, but enough to justify a company? The proof is in the marketplace with the lack of traction for Eggdrop, Antengo, and the numerous other apps that claim to make posting items for sale easier.
I would stick to the community aspect. I don't know if there is anything there, but at least it is different then what already exists in the market.
I would be weary of relying on Exec for anything substantial to my company because if they get acuihired, they could disappear overnight and leave a gaping hole in my business that could be very difficult to fill.
Be very careful of an all-stock transaction. I had to pay a lot of money out of pocket to the IRS for shares in a company I couldn't sell.
I found out the hard way that restricted stock stays restricted until the company officially releases it to you (via a letter from their CFO, etc), even if you already satisfied the requirements to release the restriction per the terms of the deal (SEC restrictions, contract obligations, earn out, etc). Apparently this is a grey area and the company is under no obligation to release the stock.
Most brokers won't touch restricted stock with a ten foot poll. They tell you that you have to speak to their special division about restricted stock. And then they want to charge you to help you get it unrestricted and even then, there are no guarantees.
Stock is just a piece of paper until you can put it into a brokerage account and sell it. You MUST understand exactly what it will take to be able to sell that stock and who it will hinge on and when.
To add an additional headache, if you're still working for the company this complicates it even more depending on your role with the company.
TL;DR
I received stock after my company was sold, I had to pay tax on that stock as if it were cash in the bank, now I can't even sell the stock due to ambiguous rules. And the worst part is, even if I could sell my stock at this point, it wouldn't even cover what I paid in taxes.
Photo 7 is very peculiar. The pilot is not visible. I am familiar with this cockpit, and there is no where to go backwards, so he must be all the way forwards out of view.
In photo 38, you can see how visible he is when taxiing out.
Just absolutely terrible. My thoughts are with all involved.
