So I've thought a lot about this, had the fortune to chat with vigilante about it too, and I've decided I'm going to move forward with an investor's offer to partner.

My thought is to offer $100k for 10% with a 5-year option to buy him out/he can force me to buy him out.

I know I'll give him excellent return on investment, and I am pretty sure he gets that which is why he approached me.

Curious what other people's advice/experience is?
