Thanks, but in this case equipment is covered pretty well already by one of the existing investors. I don't think they are looking elsewhere at this point.

As for the state of the startup I'm looking at, they are a bit past the real early stages, and probably getting close to the management part. Should know more later this week.

If I do go for it, it will be an interesting shift. Last time I worked for a small company was in the late 90s. Definitely can appreciate getting back to that.
