Every model has a hard part. Yours is this: you need to be able to rapidly assess which products are easy to close before the startup knows it.

If you have the taste to find that sweet spot you’ll do great. That said, this level of taste is most often deployed alongside venture capital where you’ll work less and make way more.

If your taste isn’t good then you should build a highly effective cheap rapid assessment tool out of your business so that the tool can tell you what’s good fast. Which is a thing many venture firms do or have tried to do, for obvious reasons.

Upshot: sure, give it a try. I suggest you negotiate for some options along with your cash comp for being ‘free’, because even a great venture portfolio hits like 1 in 20.
