Your brother you can trust, but his partners? or who or what entity is running the show in 6 months/2 years?
Many a story has been heard of people who get the "golden ticket," financial backing, permitting, equipment.
Suddenly after 6 months or two years, they are out on their ass and the Entity owns everything.
I personally watched two young men, who were very good at their craft of extraction, get a new facility, 300k of equipment, was promised 100k/year jobs with profit sharing. They built the out the whole thing, worked the bugs out of the process, took less money than they were told (4k/mo) "until the biz was up and running" worked 16 hour days 6 days a week, and were promptly sacked after 12 months when it was running smoothly.
In the show Silicon Valley. i believe the term was "Brain Rape."
