Salesforce - I like the idea of Force.com being offered that uses the same infrastructure as the core product, as well as the companies they have acquired.

37signals - great example and I liked reading their timeline to see how/when they expanded. Jason is also very open on Inc.com about running the company. For some reason I recall reading an article where their adoption rates were a lot lower outside of their core product.

Hi fezzl,

Not too familiar with the UserVoice story. What product did they start with?

Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the input, I actually didnt know about the investment fund for Force.com startups. I will definitely apply.

Thank you everyone for the feedback, my decision will probably be to leave the company and provide consulting for them while I start my business, I am definitely ready to jump in!

Thanks, I agree with the first posters that you should always consult with an attorney to be 100% sure.

I know many in this community have dealt with the situation and have a story to share.

I am also considering the option of leaving the full time position and becoming a part time consultant to continue my work and eliminate the risk of the company claiming IP on my creation.

I knew this would be the proper answer :-)

Im just curious if anyone has similar experience in dealing with this common scenario.

Thanks for the tip!
