Great job. Very inspiring project...

I also think it is best to keep a job in the beginning. At least keeping a half time job. In France we have a great unemployment benefit (2/3 of salary Netto). This is great for founders to be full-time on the project on the first year and a half. I used it.

According to many business Angel, unemployment benefits counts for the BIG majority of 'investment' in a startup.



Thanks. I agree with you. We don't have unemployment benefit like France so we choose the safe way to keep both full time and startup job
