Ask HN: Can I start a startup while on unemployment (US based)
I'm employed right now in a well paying job, and I have a small side project that I have been working on with a friend that makes a modest amount of money, of which I have not paid myself any as of yet. If I were to get laid off or fired from my full time job, would it be legally possible to take unemployment for a while while to help me bootstrap the startup?
