I want some advice
#5
RE: I want some advice
I'd hear his whole pitch. Listen, shit stains have a tendency to be successful. It's almost a qualification. If he's not asking for money, but he wants your expertise and I'm assuming your intellectual property, you drive a hard bargain. Whatever the project is, you want a chunk of it.

It's no skin off your back if he declines. He needs you, and you don't need him. That's a prime position to be in.

ETA: I am assuming he's starting a company or needs technical help selling his product. If he's trying to get you to buy into something---anything---My advice is the same as everyone else's.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
