Hi Steve, will you cover advisors and other non co founder positions as part of this series? I know you mentioned them in the first video but I just wanted to double check, Thanks

[@Startupsos]

Yes - a Board of Advisors video will be published on Tuesday this week.

If you have a co-founder that needs to be removed due to toxic behaviors, incompetence, or performance issues, but they haven't vested any stock yet, and they've already contributed a lot of sweat equity and resources, how do you ensure that they are fairly compensated for past contributions?

[@theuntetheredman3219]

Do you have an example NDA document. Please do share if you don't mind.

What happens to your persentage of your company when you give investors part of your company

What are the possibles ways to protect the idea of a software or an App you launch? How do you protect your software, how and where it is used, from reverse engineering? I am trying to find on internet how Elon Musk protected PayPal software source code and reverse engineering but couldn't find it. Any idea how Elon did that?

[@Startupsos]

The two ways I'm familiar with to protect against reverse engineering of software is (1) If you have a difficult to figure out algorithm, then you protect that as a trade secret and hope competitors can't figure it out, and (2) If your software is patentable, then that too is a way to protect against reverse engineering.
