Hi HN,
Everytime I read articles and consume all other content around attemping a startup, I see no consideration for those whom are employed under employement contract to assign both moral rights and intellectual property to their employer. I have read Lean Startup by Eric Ries and consumed a ton of Y combinator content.
Under these circumstances, how can one validate the market using a minimal vialable product, for something truly novel? Futhermore, the're contractually unable build an MVP as result of assigning their full intellectual property rights for anything loosely related to their job.
What can one do under these circumstances, and let's face it, its found in the majority of employment contracts within the tech industry?
Anyone any thoughts on this? Moreover, I'm considering leaving a very well paid software developer job to free myself of this obligation, with the intention of building a product to offer real value to both me and others alike.
