The Inquiry:

I’m a Yale student working on an advertising start-up that allows advertisers to focus unique attention on their featured products within a social framework. This venture is through the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute with mentor and adviser [REDACTED]. We’re looking for a partner to build the beta product and secure a first round of advertisers. I can provide negotiable compensation with long-term equity and management position. I’m happy to discuss in more detail, but would like you to sign a non-disclosure agreement first.

Translation:

I may be fifteen years old, but I sure know how to name drop and have just enough business school etiquette to screw you over should you be foolish enough to accept “negotiable compensation,” “long-term equity” or a “management position” in my fantasy start-up that I dreamed up while I was coked out in Humanities class yesterday.
