You forgot the most important question > 'WHY? Why are you guys doing this that will probably fail, take you 10 years to realise it failed and cause you gastric ulcers of massive proportions?' If they fail to convince me here, I'd turn them down.

Gastric ulcers are caused by a bacteria (Heliobacter pylori), not the stress of running a startup.

bacteria are caused by a lack of immunity that is caused by the stress of running a startup :)

They're still easily treated with antibiotics. I'd hate for someone to quit their startup because they thought that stress was the primary cause.

absolutely! and a few insomnian nervous breakdowns every now and then :) but if your intentions are pure and vision clear > those are all a mere drops of discomfort in a sea of awesomeness that is a startup. :)
