I'm a self-employed software engineer.
If you just have an idea, no matter how good it is, theres nothing stopping me from taking your idea and doing it myself
If you're not bringing tangibles, then realistically they dont need you, then can take your idea and do it themselves
You either have to bring money, or some kind of connections/access that they dont have themselves
Go and look on websites where people are looking for co-founders. the majority of people looking are non-technical co-founders, looking for technical co-founders.
Any potential technical co-founder you will find, will have way more options than you do. So you are going to have to offer something other than just ideas
With that mindset they will always be an employee and with this opportunity there is a strong possibility of generational wealth creation
Shame
I've seen (and heard) people with some of the most beautiful voices bestowed upon God's green Earth, roll out red carpets for me (with my subtle speech impediments) because I can write songs that turn heads and move rooms
Having a great voice is of no comparable value to a great song
The world may revolve around work, but it evolves around ideas
