working on my startup while in an internship for FANG
I’ll be doing an internship for FANG but st the same time i’ll be working on my startup during the weekends and time off. Is it going to give me troubles? How much can i talk about this inside my company? There are 2 angel investors in my company that might be interested, how risky would it be to talk about my start up with them?
Let's talk, I'm interested
I’m sending you a message :)
Is your startup and the FANG in the same line of business? If so, might be a problem. If not, shouldn’t be.
Not really, maybe it can be compared to one of the products of fang, but definitely not a direct competitor
I have a hard time imagining the company really cares what an intern is doing in their spare time.
Makes sense hahaha
Don’t discuss it internally, you will not get into trouble till you become a unicorn or something, I’m sure by then you would consider to quit your job and probably can afford a lawyer. Keep your connections from your company for next phase of investment. Never use any of your company equipment for your startup, NEVER. you should be fine.
Thanks :)
Don't use your company's laptop to work on your startup .
Why do you care about your internship?
Not get sued. Experience. Possible stable future in this company where I’d work 100%. Something more stable, my startup is still super risky and early stage (as any startup obviously)
