On: Ask HN: Selling 20% Equity for $100k?

You don't want to sell that much equity for such a little bit of money.

You should probably look at doing this as a SAFE note or some other form of convertible loan.

> You don't want to sell that much equity for such a little bit of money.

Is this a general rule, or does it depend on the scale of the project? (I'm thinking: what if it's a small side-project valued by OP at around $500k, but they need cash right now?)

Then taking investment is a bad idea because the a 500k corp would have expectations to double/triple/10x if taking investment. If that 20% is your only investment you plan and then go ahead but the investor will still want to see it double.
