Question

Question:

I participated in a company’s “app challenge weekend” (which they described as somewhere between a hackathon and a startup weekend). I am excited to continue working on the product that my team built over the weekend with 2 of the team members (my brother and the guy who pitched the idea).

My preference is to formalize a relationship by forming a company.  My fear is that the guy who pitched the idea will decide in a month or two that he doesn’t need us and tell us we’re not working on it anymore.  He formed a company 2 years ago that he talks about (though from the research I’ve done has no IP or product of any kind) and thinks that this idea fits into that vision, but doesn’t want to include anyone.
