Is my IP safe from poaching if I DO NOT work under an employment agreement?

So, we’ve learned in “today’s post”:https://gigaom.com/2008/03/07/the-dangers-of-a-startup-democracy/, that “moonlighting” to found your startup can be a risky proposition if you work under a contract or labor agreement with your current employer.

*But what, if anything, do you have to worry about if you DO NOT have an employee agreement?* Is your startup’s IP automatically safe from corporate “poaching” if you have no employer-employee contract with your current (but future ex-) boss? What other concerns remain for the founder who launches a side business under these conditions?
