I think the framework is more important than the absolute answer, because I don't think there's a generic absolute answer. It's going to vary based on every situation - each person (investor and entrepreneur) is going to have a different definition of risk vs. return vs. the value of an incremental unit of their time. Interestingly, the person that asked me the question gave me feedback that the broad answer was very helpful in him sorting out how he should spend his time in this specific situation. Maybe.

The question was whether to devote time to a company that looks like a reliable but not very large return - not how to evaluate total time commitments. Seems like the answer should lie more in the realm of "risk vs. return" considerations as well as "non-financial benefits." Your answer provides a paradigm for what the answer looks like, but not what it should be. I don’t think you answered his question (at least as I read it).
