Early-stage Startups

Unfortunately this will not work in India or globally and you will end up wasting a lot of time dealing with scammers. A better option is to take on a partner that will handle all the marketing on a full time basis. The partner should get a salary or a commission on each sale and equity in the 5 to 25% range. Always best to maintain control over critical functions and marketing is one of them. Best of luck.

You can address this by structuring their investment as a convertible note, preferred stock or via dividend payouts. In all cases you keep control of the company. Having said this, the most important issue is that the company will be profitable.
